Looking for love but can’t get a date? The Midsumma Festival is your chance to giddy up and meet the person of your dreams at Saloon Speed Dating.

Self-described ‘matchmaker extraordinaire’ Dean Arcuri will host the night of themed speed dating and this time around participants will be asked to don their finest Brokeback-style flannel and dosey doe to a cowboy theme.

“Come on down and lasso yourself some lovin’!” Arcuri said.

“Whether you’re looking for love, laughs, mates or dates, remember, the magic is in the mingling. When you get thrown from a horse, you have to get up and get back on.”

“Yee haw!”

Saloon Speed Dating will be held on February 1 from 7.30pm at Libation, 302 Brunswick St, Fitzroy. Cost $22.

Tickets and registration from the Midsumma website.
