New Year New Love | 50-60 | Wake Forest

Just a bar. Everyone single.
Because 2026 is about meeting in real life — not on dating apps.

New Year, New Love is taking over Birds Nest at Blackbird.
Think great drinks, effortless conversation, and a room full of singles who actually showed up. No pressure. No speed dating. Just good energy and the chance to meet someone new as the year begins.

There will be light matchmaking moments, natural ice-breakers, and plenty of space for organic connections — whether that’s a spark, a laugh, or just a great conversation.

Someone’s going to make the first move.
It might as well be you.

100 singles. One venue. Under 35s.
Tickets are limited — grab yours.
