Bonobofest Pre-Meetup: Start the Connections Early
Tuesday May 5th, 2025 7pm-10pm
Help us give the brewery an accurate head count - please RSVP on Plura if you plan to attend!
Hey Bonobos and Friends!
Getting ready for Bonobofest? Come connect with the community before the festivities begin.
Bonobofest isn’t just about the event itself, it’s about the connections that make the experience come alive.
This pre-meetup is your chance to start building those connections before Bonobofest begins. Meet the people you might be dancing with, laughing with, flirting with, learning from, or simply sharing space with throughout the weekend. When you walk into Bonobofest already recognizing faces, already having shared a conversation or a smile, everything feels warmer, easier, and more connected.
We’re intentionally creating this space so you can:
💫 Break the ice before the main event
💫 Find your people and start forming friend groups
💫 Reconnect with familiar faces
💫 Meet potential play partners, cuddle buddies, or co-adventurers
💫 Ease any nerves and settle into the Bonobo vibe
This pre-meetup is a relaxed, low-pressure way to meet folks, build connections, and start weaving those social threads that make Bonobofest feel extra magical. Clothes stay on, vibes stay easy.
You’re welcome to bring friends, partners, and curious humans who haven’t been to a Bonobo event yet but want to learn more about what we’re all about.
New to Bonobo Network? This is the perfect place to start. Grab a name tag, share your pronouns, order some food and drinks, and ease into the community at your own pace.
Feeling a little shy? Come find one of the hosts—we’ve got you. We’re here to help you feel welcomed, connected, and part of the magic.
Because the magic of Bonobofest doesn’t start when the event begins…
It starts right here, in the connections we build together. 💖

Invite your Friends!
Want to bring a non-Bonobo friend? Great! This meetup is open to non-Bonobos. Please remember, though, that we're looking for people who'll be GREAT fits with our culture: we are looking for excellent people with sex-positive values who are committed to treating one another excellently: kindly, empathetically, consensually, inclusively, pleasurably, and supportively! They want to do sexy parties in community instead of in anonymity. They see the appeal in treating play parties as high possibility, low expectation spaces. They value consent. They're trustworthy. They are both supportive and supportable. Do you know these people? Because they're whom we want to see at the event.
COVID safety: Please discuss your risk factors with each other as it pertains to covid. Physical contact and close proximity with explicit consent.
Connect with other attendees on Plura!
