Celebrate Love At One Of These Valentine’s Day Events In Charleston

Whether you view Valentine’s Day as the most romantic day of the year, a made-up greeting card holiday, or the antithesis of everything happy in the world, today is still a reason to celebrate! Whether you’re celebrating love or choosing to just treat yo-self, we’ve rounded up the top V-Day activities the Holy City has to offer.

Take a walk on the wild side


(Because exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy.) If your Valentine is more of the adventurous sort, head over to Wild Blue Ropes Adventure Park. For just $50 per couple, you can tackle that big, bad ropes course. What better way to say “I love you” than with a heart-pumping ropes climb?

Dinner and a movie


If you’re that hopeless romantic, hop on down to the Terrace Theater for the second annual Valentine’s Date Night. Local jeweler Croghan’s Jewel Box teams up with the theater to show the cult classic, To Catch A Thief. Grab some popcorn, forget the roses, and impress your date with your classy taste for classic films.

Anti-Valentine’s Day


Stupid Cupid. Maybe you don’t believe in the holiday or maybe you’re licking your wounds from a relationship gone bad. Whatever your reason for not feeling all mushy gushy, you’re not alone! Local bars The Brick and Charleston Beer Works are each holding anti-Valentine’s Day parties. With drink specials, speed dating, and even a pinata giveaway (no, really) these two bars will make sure you end the night on a high note.

Beer Lovers


Who doesn’t like enjoying a few drinks with their special someone? Frothy Beard is have a beer and cheesecake pairing. They’ll have 4 of their delcious beers available to pair with “fun flavored” cheesecakes. Not a fan of sweets? No worries, Edmund’s Oast Brewing and Bendy Brewski Yoga are hosting a yoga for beer lovers class.

We know, it’s hard to choose just one.
