Are you tired of swiping? Do you wanna experience dating with no downside? Do you crave more experiential dating events that are inclusive and community-oriented?

Then, come on down to HypeFest! We're a live dating and connection event that's designed around one thing - making single/available folks feel good about themselves.

Here's the premise:

You can learn so much about someone from their friends/community. So why not have an event where we only learn about single/available folks from their friends?! In our show, friend groups (AKA hype squads) go up on stage to tell the audience why their single/available friend (AKA one of our 20 contestants) is so amazing - in 2.5 minutes or less.

So where does the dating come in?

The afterparty! There's lots of moments to mingle before the show starts, during our intermission, and little moments in between - followed by a full hour to vibe out after the show. We provide "interest cards" (think business cards meet valentines from elementary school) that you can fill out for contestants you are interested in romantically and/or platonically. Shoot your shot in person, give a contestant your interest card, or drop it off in our host's Hype Box to be shared with the contestant later. Our event is focused on the hyping, so it's a low pressure way to meet new people you may wanna date!
