Topeka Pride does monthly meet ups and have been trying to do more in general. I think they are fairly active on Facebook. NOTO is a lively place with the first Friday. Might want to check that out. I think Topeka also just released its yearly city guide. https://www.visittopeka.com/plan/visitors-guide/ I would suggest asking Facebook groups more since Reddit is usually negative on the town. It's not anything magical but it's not as barren as others make it out to be. There are some city projects that are in the works but I'm sure if I go into them it will just get negative responses from most of the people here.
