It’s the time of the year again, redditors! “What time is that, u/bluepinkblack?” you ask. It’s Reddit Global Meetup time! “Renaming the event again this year, u/bluepinkblack?” you ask. You bet we are, and this time, with even more GLOBAL!

Each year in June, redditors just like yourself gather in parks, restaurants, beaches, active roadways (yes, really), to mingle and be jovial, celebrating one common theme amongst them all—Reddit! Meeting redditors IRL is an exciting opportunity to expand your online purview, share favorite communities, and debate on whether that hot dog you’re currently eating is a taco or a sandwich. What do you think u/Spez?

It’s true that redditors do meetups around the world all the time! When like-minded redditors get together, it’s usually a lot of fun. But June is the one special time of year when we go all-out and really show up, from Canada to India, Japan, and Australia, with hundreds of cities in between. What started in 2009 (now in its TENTH YEAR!) has become a true Reddit tradition for all redditors to bring their conversations from online to IRL.

This year, we’re celebrating our ninth annual Reddit Meetup Day on Saturday, June 22. If this is your first meetup, bring your best self and expect a good time in great company.

And by the way, Global really does mean GLOBAL! Thanks to this thread nine years ago, we were able to spread the news to Reddit communities in all parts of the world. That means you can find meetups in cities like Pune, Bangkok, and Buenos Aires. We also have meetups in Iloilo, London, and Vegas! If you’re looking for your city, or are vacationing during Reddit Meetup Day, check out our list of community subbies! And if you don’t see one in your town, be the change you want to see in your community and create one!

We can’t wait for Reddit Global Meetup this year. Thank you to all of the redditors in advance for planning these local meetups! Without you, we wouldn’t have the camaraderie we’ve built throughout the years.
