Our friends at Visit Loveland have complied a complete list with all of the amazing ways to celebrate Valentine's Day in our Sweetheart City, Loveland Colorado.

​In the nation’s Sweetheart City, Valentine’s Day is more than a day – it is a celebration of Everything You Love. Here, romantic heart-shaped love notes dot the streets. Art and sculpture take new forms and local craft brews are transformed into love potions.

8. Send Valentines through snail mail
Maybe you’re in a long distance relationship, or maybe you just want to surprise your partner with a note or two left around the house. Either way, handwritten notes are a romantic tradition that go a long way in today’s world of text messages and Snapchats. 

Take your time writing (practice that cursive?) and, if you’re mailing your Valentine, use your nicest stationery or take some time to personalize what you have. Doodles or notes in the margins will make these keepsakes even more memorable, and you’ll love looking back on them together down the road. ​

9. Serve your loved one breakfast in bed
Surprise breakfast in bed is basically never a bad idea, if you ask us. Sneak out of bed early to prepare your loved one’s favorite meal (pizza is fine for breakfast, by the way) and surprise them with it. 

Alternatively, cook breakfast together, then head back to bed to enjoy your culinary creations and spend the day being couch bed potatoes.

10. Connect virtually
If you can’t be together this Valentine’s Day, carve out some time to connect virtually. Phone calls, video calls, and virtual activities like an online class or Netflix movie party are an easy way to show someone you’re thinking of them. Other ideas include eating a meal or sharing a glass of wine “together,” live streaming the same concert, or solving a virtual escape room.

​

11. Get outdoors together
Coloradoans are known for our love of the outdoors, so take to one of your local trails or head up to the mountains with your partner for a romantic outing in nature. Hold hands, have intimate conversations, take in the scenery, practice teamwork, and boost your health all in one date. 

​

Lock your love on two love lock sculptures
Loveland has unveiled its second love lock sculpture which will sit downtown through the Sweetheart Festival before moving to Lake Loveland. The 12-foot-3-inch-tall, 14-foot-3-inch-wide steel sculpture is a simple, heart design created and constructed locally. Love locks sell for $20 at the Visitors Center, where visitors can also see Colorado's largest love lock sculpture. Love locks are a symbol of love and commitment inspired by an ancient custom to symbolically lock your love forever.

Celebrate at the nation's largest Valentine's Day festival

Bring the family or sweetheart for free fun including a special effects laser light show, live entertainment, Palace of Sweets, Kids Street, Tunnel of Love, interactive art projects, Sweetheart Classic 4-miler and Little Miss Valentine/Little Mr. Cupid contest.
