This year, Valentine's Day falls on a Friday, so if you haven't made dinner reservations yet, your restaurant of choice might already be booked.

Silent disco party at The Belmont
For $20 a ticket, take your partner to a Valentine's Day silent disco party at The Belmont, 305 W. Sixth Street, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
It's not just for couples, either. The event welcomes all attendees 21 and older. Upon check-in, participants will receive a glow-in-the-dark necklace indicating their relationship status: green for single and available, yellow for "it's complicated" and red for "off the market."
Attendees will receive a set of headphones with three different music channels: hip hop/R&B, EDM, or ’80s, ’90s and 2K pop.

Treat yourself and your special someone to a self-love and sound bowl ceremony with Flow Yoga at their 3rd Eye Yoga Studio, at 1701 Toomey Road, from 7 to 8:15 p.m. For $30 per person, master coach Veronica Kelly will guide you through a transformative workshop designed to foster deeper, authentic self-love.
The session incorporates Emotional Freedom Techniques, guided meditation, wisdom teachings and an immersive sound experience to enhance your relationship with yourself and your partner.

The concert is scheduled for noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14, at Life in the City UMC, 205 E. Monroe St. Guests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, pillows or camp chairs, water or a mug for cacao or tea (free with donation), and, most importantly, their significant other or a friend. Singles are also invited to attend to make new friends.
Attendees can register on Eventbrite.
