In and Out of the Box Valentine’s Celebration Ideas

Tired of the usual Valentine’s Day traditions? Break free from conventional celebrations and explore the extraordinary in Belleville.

Or celebrate old-school with a romantic dinner, flowers and chocolates—no judgment here.

Either way, we’ve got you covered with some in and out-of-the-box experiences you can engage in with your loved one in our beautiful city:

• Explore the 5 Love Languages together, center your chakra as you engage in yoga flow poses, and gaze into each other’s eyes as you participate in We Thrive’s Love Flow Couples Experience on Feb. 10 from 3-4:30 pm.

• Double the bliss this Valentine’s Day by indulging in a tandem hot stone massage at Beauty Works Day and Medi Spa. Unwind together and celebrate love with the ultimate pampering experience.

• Spice up your Valentine’s Day with a sizzling crew of burlesque stars. Dive into an adults-only cabaret that’s all about love, lust, and the in-between. Get ready for an evening that’s anything but ordinary at Capers on Feb. 9 and 10.

• Bring your Dancing Queen or Super Trouper for a night of non-stop fun and nostalgia at the Empire Theatre for Abbamania and Bee Gees Night Fever. Don’t miss out on this epic celebration of ABBA’s music and legacy on Feb. 9 at 7:30 pm.

• Sweet celebrations not your thing? Upfront Cafe is hosting a Valentine’s Day event that ain’t really a Valentine’s Day event on Wednesday, Feb. 14 at 5 pm.

“There will be nothing but oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the air when Randy Stewart takes the stage at the UpFront Cafe on behalf of the lovelorn, the lovesick and the romantically skeptical.”

“He’s hidden the roses, eaten the chocolates and, for good measure, he’s tied Cupid up in the shed for ‘s Ain’t Valentine’s Day: A Valentine for the Rest of Us, something to sing about – that doesn’t wear its heart on its sleeve.”
