Btown Brief IRL — Burlington Social & Activities

Why this exists
Friends don’t appear from nowhere, they happen when you spend casual time together, regularly. Btown Brief IRL removes the friction: low-stakes activities, a consistent cadence, and a friendly crowd that’s down to try stuff.
What we do
A rotating mix of 8–15 meetups a month: trivia takeovers, food & beer crawls, walks, live music hangs, board-game nights, bowling, casual paint & sip, volunteer days, and more. Variety keeps it fresh; familiar faces make it feel like home.
The hub
Our Btown Brief newsletter is the central feed for Burlington happenings and hidden gems; the perfect icebreaker. We surface the best options each week, then meet up IRL to actually do them. Plus, we have simple, easy, regular activities organized by the Btown Brief.

Who it’s for
New in town or born-and-raised, introvert or extrovert, coming solo or with a friend.
Age-leaning meetups (as we grow)
Eventually, I’d love to have age targeted events such as 20s–early-30s socials, 30s–40s dinners, and 40s–50s game nights alongside open meetups so everyone can find their lane. Attendance + feedback drive what sticks.
Vibe & simple norms
Be kind, be welcoming, be curious.
RSVP honestly (free spots matter).
Try new things; help others feel included.
Support local spots
