About Our Community
Friends Beyond Boston – Waltham Social (20s–40s) is a local community built around genuine connection, small events, and welcoming spaces where people can actually get to know each other.
We’re a member-led group, which means members are welcome (never required) to host or cohost simple events with support, it’s how we keep things fun, varied, and shaped by the people who make this community special.

About this Event
Meet new people. Make new friends. Enjoy good food and good company outside. 🌮
We'll be gathering in the backyard of one of our regulars, who's kindly offered up their space for the afternoon. It's a great chance to slow down, be outside, and connect with people who are also new in town, exploring the area, or just looking for their next group of friends.
Tacos from Tita's Kitchen are covered by the group fund. It's a potluck, so everyone else is asked to bring something to share:
🥤 Beverages
🍽️ A dish, snack, side, or dessert to share
🪑 Chairs, we'll need seating, so if you can bring some, let us know in the event chat!
🧺 Picnic blankets if you'd rather sit picnic-style
No set menu, we'll coordinate in the event chat so we're not swimming in desserts with zero sides. 😂
📍The address shown is a nearby public park, not the actual location, this protects our venue host's privacy. RSVP'd members get the real address closer to the date.
🌧️ Rain date: Sept 19
Capped at 10 people. Good food, easy conversation, and a low-key way to grow your circle. 🫶🏽

⏰Timing
Please try to arrive as close to the start time as you can so we can get settled and enjoy the potluck together. Since this is a shared meal, arriving around the start time will also help us get everything set up and coordinate the food.
If you're running late, please let us know in the event chat so we know to expect you. We'll be a little more forgiving if you're the one bringing dessert. 😉
