2️⃣ Meet & Mingle – Hosts introduce solo guests to groups, so it’s easy to start chatting.
3️⃣ Have Fun – Join games, karaoke 🎤, dancing 💃, or head out with your new crew.

🚤 MORE THAN JUST MEETUPS
We also host BBQs 🍖, boat parties 🚤🍹, and group excursions 🌴 throughout the year — there’s always something exciting coming up!
💫 Come and be part of Sydney’s most welcoming, diverse, and fun community — you’ll never leave without new friends! 👯‍♀️💃

🚺 WOMEN-LED
👩🏻‍🦰 Female-founded & hosted - Aloha is the only international meetup founded and run mostly by women. Most of our events have a female host all night and our male hosts are here to make sure your night is great and supported.
