Cultural Tip
In everyday French, especially among younger speakers, "Y a" replaces the more formal "Il y a" and gives the sentence a relaxed tone. "Quoi comme" is also colloquial; in formal writing you’d use "quels" or "quelles". Be aware that "événements sociaux" can refer to anything from a neighborhood fête to a corporate networking mixer, so context matters.
