- 2025 Kid-Friendly Valentine’s Events in Raleigh NC + the Triangle - January 7, 2025
It’s almost Valentine’s Day in North Carolina…and, well everywhere! If you’re a parent, you know that celebrating Valentine’s Day changes once you have kids. It’s no longer just a day about romance, roses, and a fancy dinner (although I 100% think parents deserve their own special Valentine’s date and should plan one!)
But now, Valentine’s Day becomes more about family love! Fortunately, if you live near the Triangle area, there are loads of Valentine’s events in Raleigh and beyond, and many of these are meant for the whole family.
Here are a few Raleigh Valentine’s Day events I’ve found happening locally to fill your February with love and fun! More events will continue to be added as they are announced.
