These events can take many forms, including fests, fairs, art exhibitions etc., and go out with your colleagues. Community events have a friendly vibe and are a great way to have fun and get to know others.
  
  
• Join local clubs and classes: You may have a hobby that you would like to explore. So why not join clubs or classes? This way, you engage with like-minded people and also explore your hobbies.
