Laugh Together, Leave as Friends 😂🌳✨
Laurelhurst Park, 3598 SE Ankeny St. ,, Portland, OR, US📸 The best moments from our events live here. Follow along: @comemakenewfriends | www.instagram.com/comemakenewfriends
A summer evening in the park with live comedy is one of the easiest settings to walk away with a new friend. The laughs are shared, the vibe is relaxed, and the conversations happen on their own. Come out and see who you begin a friendship with. 🤝
Portland's favorite outdoor comedy series is back for its 6th season and we are heading to Laurelhurst Park to kick off the summer right. Local and national comics, a blanket on the grass, and an evening the Portland Mercury called "one of the most visibly successful arts endeavors in Portland." 😂🌳
Free event. No tickets needed. Blankets drop at 6 PM, show starts at 6:30 PM.

12 DJs. Your Next Friends. Rip City Vibes. 🎶🔥🤝
Jackie’s, 930 SE Sandy Boulevard, Portland, OR, USYou are in a room full of Trail Blazers fans who love the game as much as you do and that alone is enough to start a conversation. The DJ keeps it going, the dance floor fills up, and before long you are talking to people you have never met like you have known them for years. Maybe you walk away with a giveaway. You hopefully walk away with some numbers. By the time you leave a few of those people just might become new friends.
The Portland Trail Blazers are celebrating Black Music Month at Jackie's. 12 DJs, food, cocktails, and giveaways from 1 to 4 PM.
Everyone is welcome.

📝 Heads Up: We have not yet attended this event personally. Based on what I have seen from previous Rip City Vibes events, come prepared for a high energy crowd and loud music. I will make introductions when you arrive, but social outcomes are yours to own.
