If you’ve just moved to Denver — first off, welcome! The mountains are beautiful, the brunch scene is elite, and the sunshine? Chef’s kiss. But I get it… finding your people in a new city can feel a little overwhelming.
As someone who’s helped hundreds of people relocate here (and make it feel like home), I know community is everything. That’s why I’ve rounded up 6 local groups that make it easier to get out, connect, and have fun doing it.
Whether you’re looking for social walks, dog-friendly events, or a fitness-forward way to meet people, these groups are a great place to start:
1. @citygirlswhowalkden
Walk-and-talk meetups in RiNo, Wash Park, and more.
This group keeps it casual, welcoming, and low-pressure — just show up and start walking with a crew of new friends. Perfect for solo movers who want community without the awkward intros.
2. @fictionbeer
Books + beer = the ultimate icebreaker.
Fiction Beer Company’s monthly book club is open to everyone and hosted in one of Denver’s best little breweries. Expect laid-back convos, great local pours, and a super chill crowd.
3. @denverdogmomclub
For the dog mamas (and their adorable sidekicks 🐶).
This group hosts regular meetups, patio hangs, and seasonal dog-friendly events. Whether you’ve got a new pup or just want to make dog-loving friends, this is the community you didn’t know you needed.
4. @twobirdsfit
Fitness meets flirting in the best way.
Two Birds Fit hosts singles-focused workouts, mixers, and even speed dating-style classes around Denver. It’s playful, inclusive, and genuinely fun — no awkward apps required.
5. @denverboulderingclub
Climb. Chill. Connect.
With multiple locations, an inclusive vibe, and options for all skill levels, DBC is a great way to meet people while doing something empowering. Come solo or bring a buddy — either way, you’ll feel welcome.
6. @denvergalswhogolf
A totally judgment-free golf group just for women.
Whether you're brand new to the game or ready to level up your swing, this community hosts clinics, scrambles, and fun rounds all across the city. It’s all about connection, not competition.
