Events and date ideas for you to steal
February comes with a reputation. Valentine’s Day shows up loud, pink, and full of expectations. Suddenly you’re wondering if your date idea says “thoughtful and fun” or “trying way too hard.”
Good news: you don’t have to stress. Whether you’re riding solo and wanting to meet someone, looking for something low-key to get to know someone new, or wanting to go big and really romanticize your life, we’ve rounded up some February events and date ideas for you.
Most of these are local to the Salt Lake City and Provo, UT areas, but every idea can be adapted to wherever you are. Try looking for something similar near you or DIY your own version!
