The Meet Market | Bend's Best Singles’ Event

​The Meet Market | Bend's Best Singles Event Brought to you by The Bend Buzz & Cricket Fixes

​Ditch the apps. A night of genuine, in-person connection awaits.

​The Meet Market is back, and this time we're taking over Ballers and Brews for a night designed to help you actually meet people. Not your typical singles event. Not just standing around awkwardly waiting for something to happen.

​A curated, low-pressure social experience for adults who are ready to show up and connect.

​The Night

​6:00 PM - Doors open. Grab a bite from the food trucks, claim your drink tickets, and start mingling. We'll kick things off with a quick rundown of the night so you know exactly what to expect.

​7:00 PM - Choose your adventure:

• ​Join a Connection Pod - small, guided groups designed to spark real conversation fast

• ​Hit the pickleball courts and let the game do the talking

​8:30 PM - Open mingle. You've warmed up. Now go follow your curiosity.

​All are welcome here. We've designed this experience to be inclusive, low-pressure, and genuinely fun.
