Valentine's Day is Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, in a four-day school weekend. Library valentine events, Aldridge Gardens and what Hoover venues have announced.

Dinners and specials are listed only when a restaurant announces them on its own website, and none had for 2027 when we checked. Event facts come from each organizer’s own page, linked below.
