About Us

Find Your People. Find Your Place.

South Carolina Meet Up is a growing community built around connection, exploration, and experiencing more of South Carolina together.

What began as a simple place for people to meet and connect has grown into a community of thousands looking for friendship, conversation, new experiences, local discoveries, and more reasons to get out and enjoy the places around them.

Because sometimes finding something to do is easy.

Finding people to do it with is the hard part.

That's where South Carolina Meet Up comes in.

More Than a Meetup

South Carolina Meet Up isn't about one type of person, one city, or one kind of experience.

It's for the person looking to make new friends.

The couple searching for somewhere different to spend Saturday.

The newcomer trying to learn their new home.

The longtime South Carolinian who somehow still hasn't seen half the state.

The foodie looking for the little restaurant everyone keeps talking about.

The adventurer ready for a road trip.

And the person who simply wants to get out of the house, meet some good people, and try something new.

Here, connection and exploration belong together.

South Carolina Meet Up brings together community and discovery.

The Community Behind SCMU

At the heart of South Carolina Meet Up is our community.

Thousands of people have come together to talk, laugh, share recommendations, ask questions, make connections, and discover new places.

You don't have to wait for an event to start connecting.
