Our Story: Reviving the Magic of Fridays
The Origins of TGIF: The story of TGIF began in 2001, but its spirit harks back to a time cherished by many—a time when Fridays were eagerly awaited as a moment to unwind and celebrate with friends at the local bar. It was a beloved ritual for many who worked hard throughout the week and looked forward to relaxing, socializing, and enjoying a well-deserved break.
As life evolved and responsibilities shifted towards family activities and weekend getaways, the tradition of celebrating Fridays waned. However, a few nostalgic souls in Laguna Woods Village, reminiscing about those golden days, decided it was time to bring back the magic. Around St. Patrick’s Day in 2001, they initiated the first TGIF gathering, hoping to recreate the cherished Friday celebrations of their youth.
A Resounding Success: The response was overwhelming—what was expected to be a modest gathering turned into an event with over 500 attendees, forcing the organizers to turn many away due to space constraints. This tremendous turnout was a clear indication: the desire to celebrate Fridays was still alive and well.
