About Real Friendsgiving 2025
What is Real Friendsgiving?
It's more than a dinner; it's a nationwide celebration of friendship. We're uniting people through 100+ locally hosted 'Friendsgiving' potluck dinners, all happening on the same night. Share gratitude, stories, and a meal with your favorite people.
When does it happen?
You're welcome to host a Friendsgiving any time, but the magic happens when we all connect together. The main event goes live on Saturday, November 15th at 6:00 PM (PT). That's when every dinner becomes part of something bigger.
Where is the party?
Everywhere! The heart of Real Friendsgiving is in homes across the country. Hosts like you create the locations. We then digitally bridge these gatherings, turning individual dinners into a massive, connected celebration of community.
