Looking for an engaging date idea this Valentine’s Day? Let your creative side shine during a Wine & Design painting class. Local artists will walk you through a step-by-step process in order to complete a work of art that you can be proud of. They will provide the paint, canvas, and tools; individuals are free to bring their own drinks. You get to pick your piece from the calendar on their website, and couple sessions typically are $70-85 per ticket. A live DJ will keep the energy light and groovy, so come out and enjoy a chill evening of painting and socializing.
PKL Park has love on the brain this Valentine’s Day. Come out on Friday for a Singles Cupid Shuffle, where individuals can draw pickleball partners at random, the perfect way to meet new friends. Or, check out Saturday’s V Day Mixed Doubles event, where couples will compete ladder-style. Tickets for open play are $10, while the tournament tickets are $100. Relax, sample specialty cocktails, and get your heart rate up on the court!


This year’s Cupid Chase 5K will flood Unity Park with a stampede of symbolic red and white shirts. Single people are to wear white, and taken people are to wear red. So, if you’re looking for a great place to mingle with singles this Valentine’s Day, look no further. Ticket prices are currently $45, and proceeds benefit individuals with disabilities. The race is open to all, with strollers and pets welcome. Keep your heart healthy and happy during this sweet stroll through Unity Park.
Celebrate love at the Greenville Theatre with a one-night-only Valentine’s Day Concert. Local legends like Emile Pandolfi, Mary Freeman, John Brigham, and Max Quinlan will be performing Broadway performances and classic love songs this weekend. Tickets are $45 for a spectacular show that will make you believe in the power of love.


Hell’s Kitchen is performing this weekend at the Peace Center, and no, it’s not the hit cooking show featuring Gordan Ramsey. The musical Hell’s Kitchen explores the dynamic between a passionate 17 year old girl, Ali, and her overprotective single mother. Ali is looking for her place in this world amidst New York City, and begins to think that music may hold the key after all. Tickets start at $72. Audience members are recommended to be 8+ due to language and mature themes.
