Whether you are married, dating, or single, Charlotteans won’t be short of options for Valentine’s Day . With a thriving community of great restaurants, concerts and events, you are sure to find the perfect event to fit your mood and budget.
Freedom Park is one of the best parks in the city. It features lovely walking paths and beautiful scenery. It is the perfect place to spend some quiet time with that special someone. There is a wooden bridge that is perfect for photographs and plenty of park benches and picnic tables.
Make the day unforgettably by going on a carriage ride see and a show. Southern Breezes Carriages provides excellent rides. Carriage rides take couples across the area. One of the benefits of this service is that it is full time, and reservations are not needed. However, during this special day, it may help to call ahead. Rides begin in the Uptown, which is known to some as Center City.
After the ride, be sure to visit the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra for a romantic concert. This orchestra has been in existence since 1932, and is considered one of Charlotte’s cultural jewels. Great seats are available, but it helps to order tickets in advance.
At times, singles may feel left out of the holiday. However, Charlotte has a number of attractions and events for them. A popular event that singles can attend is the Love Sux Party. This event, which is at Howl at the Moon, is a place where singles can get together with other singles and celebrate singleness together. There are plenty of prizes throughout the night and special offers on drinks. This annual event has been called the “Anti-Valentine’s Day Party.”
Sometimes, the best way to spend Valentine’s Day is to do something fun. Strike City Bowling is an ideal place for singles to go for a couple of fun games of bowling. In addition to bowling, there are plenty of televisions to watch games for those who do not prefer to bowl. When the digits turn to 9 at night, there is a special live entertainment group that will be presenting music. In fact, there are live performances from local bands at Strike City bowling each second and fourth Fridays of the month. There plenty of food and beverages to go around in a nice setting.
Charlotte is a unique city that has something for everyone. That is certainly the case for Valentine’s Day. Couples and singles will find things to do and places to be for this special holiday. It certainly makes sense that many people come into the city for an unforgettable time.
