Loveland has previously received valentines from all 50 states and more than 120 countries!

As locals know, each second Friday in Loveland is a great night out on the town, with art galleries, shops, and restaurants keeping their doors open late for the occasion. February, of course, is no exception. On February 8-9 from 5 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., the Loveland Love + Light event will feature more than 12 different contemporary art installations at Loveland Aleworks. With beer on tap and a different food truck each night, this is a great way to get in the spirit of Valentine’s Day. For more info, see their website, http://www.lovelandaleworks.com/home

Chocolate and Wine Tasting Movie Night

On Valentine’s Day, Loveland is celebrating in style with a chocolate and wine tasting in the Deveraux Room at 8 p.m. Afterwards, enjoy a screening of Harold & Maude, a romantic comedy perfect for your Valentine’s Day viewing.
