EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

WE do the planning. You just show up.

Nothing beats hanging out in person.

We host ~10 curated events each month across Los Angeles, all designed to help you build meaningful friendships without having to plan your social life yourself.

Every experience is hosted, facilitated, and solo-friendly by design. You can show up alone and immediately feel welcomed, introduced, and included.

Most events are members-only, which means you get exclusive access to a vetted community plus consistent opportunities to see familiar faces again. That’s what builds real friendships…shared experiences and frequency over time.

All in-person events take place in Los Angeles (for now). Expansion into other cities coming soon.

PARALLEL PROGRAMMING

Dinners, brunches, happy hours, beach walks, picnics, wine tastings, pickleball and a variety of hobby-based experiences, organized across LA every week. And no planning required on your end.

Weekly Social Experiences

Small, recurring groups built around shared interests and hobbies like reading, travel, and more. Structured. Intimate. Connection over shared interests.

PARALLEL CIRCLES

Curated small groups of 3-4 members who are navigating a shared life experience, for in-depth conversations (not activities). Each Commons Group meets 3 times, creating opportunities for understanding, support, trust, and belonging. Building depth that doesn't happen at a happy hour.

PARALLEL COMMONS

Fully-produced, curated, special experiences that gather the whole PARALLEL community together. Immersive, branded, and unlike anything else in your social calendar.

exclusive events

In addition to the 10+ official PARALLEL events per month, our members organize spontaneous hangouts, hobby meetups, and casual plans using the PARALLEL member app. That’s community in action.
