Looking for something to do with your spouse or date? Why not go see a classic romance for the ages! Showings include Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Casablanca and Gone with the Wind. Movies are being screened at the Egyptian and the Aero in LA, so take your pick and relax with that special someone. Want to ride the Venice Canals, but just can’t make it to Italy this year? The canals in in Venice, CA might be just the thing you need. Take a gondola ride with your partner and snuggle up! You can bring food with you for a small picnic, and get a mini photoshoot after the ride.

Valentine’s Day for Singles

Alone and looking for the one? Why not try wooing them with your amazing cooking skills! You can develop these skills even further (and maybe lock eyes with the person next to you) at this Valentine’s cooking class. The classes are held all weekend. You can also try your luck at the speed dating scene. This event is more like a party exclusively for singles looking to connect. Have fun, take it easy, and relax! You’ll find someone… eventually.

Valentine’s Day for People Who Hate Valentine’s Day

Alone and hate everything? Well, have I got the events for you! Birds Café allows you to poke pins in voodoo dolls, whack piñatas apart and listen to moody music. The best part is that you are surrounded by people who hate Valentine’s just as much as you do. Prizes are given to the best “Got Dumped” stories, so bring your best tale of heartache and woe with you! You can also attend a live comedy show, Mortified, and have professionals tell you their horrible love stories.
