Events

Middle Tennessee DSA hosts and attends many different kinds of events. In the calendar below you will find things run by both us and the groups we support.

Feeling pressured or overwhelmed? Don’t get too worried! We have social events like happy hours, potlucks, movie nights, and community talks to help new and old members meet and break the ice.

Events happen both in-person and on Zoom. For events in person, if we are in an indoor location, masks are required and provided if needed.

Unfamiliar with Zoom? Send us an email and we’ll be happy to get you set up for digital participation.
