Progressive Dinners
Between Thanksgiving and New Years • Various times and dates
This holiday season, we’re excited to try something new! We’re planning multiple progressive dinners in the area to encourage community connections over an evening. Similar to Dinner with Friends, these events will involve moving between different locations for appetizers/salads, main courses, and desserts.
How does it work?
During the week of November 18th we’ll reach out to those who sign up with more details about your groups, so you can start planning your progressive dinners anytime between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
Dinner with Friends
Monthly • Various times
This is a great way to share a meal, meet new folks, and share an evening of connection. Once a month.
How does it work? 6-8 people get together at one of their homes or restaurant and share a meal. If sharing a meal in homes, the host home prepares the main course, and the others bring one of the following: appetizer, salad, or dessert. Every month the home changes to offer others the opportunity to host the dinner and give the rest the chance to provide different courses. The alternative is to meet at a local restaurant to share a meal – there is an opportunity to share your preference in the sign-up form.
Wednesday Beer Group
Wednesdays • 4:30–6:30 pm • Various locations
Join the Beer Group to make new friends and try unique beers across the Highlands Ranch and south Denver area! Led by community members, the group meets on Wednesday evenings at different breweries to enjoy craft beers and conversation.
Drinking not required.
Reach out below to be added to the contact list with each week’s location.
LGBTQIA+ Dinner • Groups resume in September!
Monthly • Various times
This is a great way to share a meal, connect with other LGBTQIA+ community members, and share an evening once a month.
Similar to Dinner with Friends, folks get together at one of their homes or restaurants and share a meal. If sharing a meal in homes, the host home prepares the main course, and the others bring one of the following: appetizer, salad, or dessert. In the following months the home changes so that others have the opportunity to host the dinner and give the rest the chance to provide different courses. The alternative is meeting at a local restaurant to share a meal.
