There are two primary types of "Munch" events in Irvine, CA: a recurring social gathering for the kink community and a brand ambassador program for students.
This is a casual, in-person social event intended for making friends and building community within the kink and LGBTQ+ friendly space. It is strictly a social "meet and greet" and not a play party or a place for hookups.
"Munch" also refers to a local Orange County-based organization focused on food discovery and student engagement.
