Throughout the year, communities across Reddit hold local events where users can meet up IRL with fellow redditors in their city. But today, I’m here to announce the date for an extra-special event that happens just once a year: Reddit Meetup Day!

This site-wide converging of the masses began in 2010, and has grown now to over 100+ cities globally each year. It’s the one day all of us can share to bring local communities of redditors together in person. This year, we’re celebrating our ninth annual Reddit Meetup Day on Saturday, June 9, so mark your calendars and start organizing now!

Did we mention Reddit Meetup Day is global? Thanks to this thread nine years ago, the event has expanded to include Reddit communities in all parts of the world. That means you can find meetups everywhere from Pune to Pennsylvania, Bangkok to Buenos Aires, Houston to Hong Kong, London to Las Vegas, Iloilo to Indonesia (you get the idea). And these meetups can take on as many forms as they do locations—from r/Bangalore’s Snoo cookies to r/Delaware’s annual tradition of making Reddit Meetup Day a clean-up day for the highway they adopted.

Want to participate? Here’s how it works:

Visit your city’s Reddit community to find local users who are interested in a meetup. (Can’t find it? Check out our list of local communities .)

If other users are planning a meetup already, great! You can join by commenting to show your interest, asking to help organize the event, or just showing up on the day of.

If there are no local meetups in the works already, make a post in your local subreddit to get one started.

If you have questions along the way, make a post here to get advice from redditors who have planned meetups before (and see what redditors in other cities are planning).

Last but not least, we’ll supply the templates for name tags and flyers to help you promote your meetup in style.

In the meantime, stay tuned to our official Reddit Meetup Day community, where you can discuss your plans for June 9, see what redditors around the world are doing, and share photos from your local meetup.
