Bonfire - St. Pete
Bonfire brings people together in real-world spaces, to grow, learn, and spark change — together, in person. We’re building community right in your backyard, with events and gatherings that offer opportunities for personal, professional, and political engagement and fulfillment. If you are looking for connection and joy, seeking inspiration or have some to share, we have a seat by our fire for you! Bonfire was created for women of all ages and backgrounds, but is not exclusive to women. Created in partnership with Red Wine & Blue’s TroubleNation, Bonfire groups are local communities led by volunteer organizers who want to bring people together where they live. TroubleNation provides the tools, training, and support to help these groups grow and thrive — while keeping community building at the center. Bonfire - St. Pete meets monthly in coffee shops, parks, and other locations around our beautiful Sunshine City. Our main goal is to build a joyful community where members can connect, feel supported, and learn together. In addition to our monthly events, we plan to have regular gatherings with a variety of purposes. These include, but are not limited to, nature walks, local festivals, visiting museums, sharing meals, learning about our city’s history and politics, volunteering, and taking action to help our community.
