Groups & leagues

Same time next week? That's how friends happen.

A bar is great for a night out, but it's hard to get past small talk over loud music. A run club, a chorus or a game night gives you something to do together and the same faces every week, so by the third visit people know your name. Here are 160 LGBTQ+ clubs, leagues and regular nights in 23 cities, each with the month we last checked it was still running.

Not sure how to start? Read How to make gay friends as an adult, then pick one thing here and go three times.

OutClimb makes climbing easier to get into for trans and queer people: free, beginner-friendly meetups at most Twin Cities gyms, plus outdoor trips and mentoring. The Minneapolis Bouldering Project meetup is on the first Thursday, and other gyms host on other nights, so check the calendar.

Schedules are as each group gives them: monthly groups meet once a month, twice-a-month ones in the weeks they name, and seasonal leagues only in season. Times change, so check the group's own site before you go. Something wrong, or a group we're missing? Post in Friends & Community. Nobody pays to be listed.
