What we’re about
Local Singles, Real In-Person Connections
Welcome to Local Singles
There’s something truly special about Santa Fe, NM, a majestic and quirky city that attracts a vibrant, eclectic mix of singles from around the world. Here, entrepreneurs, artists, adventurers, doctors, lawyers, musicians, engineers, retirees, and more come together with a shared desire for meaningful, real-life authentic connections.
We're a community of motivated singles, building friendships, sparking romance, networking, dating and cultivating community. The variety of backgrounds, passions, and life experiences create a dynamic, ever-evolving landscape of unique connection and individuality for our singles.
At Local Singles, we celebrate genuine in-person connections with weekly socials, but we also understand that some singles prefer to connect online or may be unable to attend our in-person socials due to location or schedule.

Our approach is all about building genuine connections in your local community and in person, whether that’s friendship, community, networking or dating.
In-person socials are making a comeback, as singles seek not just potential partners, but also local friends in their community. Our community attracts attendees from Albuquerque, Taos, Los Alamos, and beyond, all coming together to enjoy vibrant, face-to-face gatherings.
Local Singles, now with over 1800+ single members is creating healthier and happier lives through social connections by building community, authentic connections, friendships, dating, and relationships in a natural and organic environment.
Local Singles hosts unique events and experiences throughout Santa Fe, bringing singles together at venues full of great energy and atmosphere. For us, the location is just as important as the connection and the experience.
Our gatherings range from mingles and dance parties to fundraisers, local experiences, and small-group socials designed to help people connect in fun, meaningful ways. We also love getting outdoors with walks, hikes, and dog-friendly meetups, making it easy to meet new friends while enjoying Santa Fe’s beauty.
Some of our favorite venues have included El Rey Court, La Posada, Nuckolls, As Above So Below, The Mystic, The Hilton Ortiz, Bishop Lodge, Iconik Coffee, outdoor parks, Milk of the Poppy, The Railyard, The High Desert Hideaway, Hervé Wine Bar, The Drury Hotel, and more — because every great connection deserves an inspiring setting.
Research shows strong social connections are just as important as exercise to our overall health and improving your overall happiness.
Find common interest, unique connections and enjoy being a part of a thriving singles community in Santa Fe.

Who is Kitchen Angels:
Founded in 1992, Kitchen Angels serves residents of Santa Fe and other Northern New Mexico communities who are homebound, experiencing a health crisis, lack the resources for regular meals, and are ineligible for other local meal services. No one in our community who is homebound because of a chronic, surgery-related, or terminal medical condition should ever go without appropriate nutrition. Making sure those in need have enough to eat is simply the right thing to do.
