Valentine's Day 2027 is a Sunday, with Presidents Day off the next day. Ideas: Signature Theatre, a comedy show, wine flights, weekend brunch and river views.

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Venue details come from each venue’s own website; county programs from Arlington County’s Parks and Recreation events and the library’s events calendar. We list Valentine’s dinners and events only when the venue announces them; none had for 2027 on Oct. 19. Dates marked 2026 are last year’s.

Valentine’s Day 2027 is Sunday, Feb. 14, and Monday is Presidents Day, so it is a long weekend for Arlington Public Schools families. Arlington’s best date ideas are a show at Signature Theatre in Shirlington, comedy on Columbia Pike, a wine bar in Clarendon and dinner along Wilson Boulevard. For the theater box office, call 703-820-9771.

What this means for you

  • Sunday, Feb. 14: weekend brunch at most Clarendon and Rosslyn spots; dinner reservations fill early.
