When Valentine’s Day rolls around, there are usually two groups of people: those in relationships who have plans for the weekend and those who are single and don’t have anything on the calendar. There’s no shame in being single on Valentine’s Day, and there are plenty of activities to do at home and around the city to make the sickeningly sweet weekend memorable, even if you don’t have a date!

  1. Check out some Galentine’s Day events around Worcester!

In the spirit of the season and to celebrate girl power, many small businesses are hosting Galentine’s Day celebrations throughout the city! The Crompton Collective in Kelley Square is hosting a Galentine’s Day event including a pilates class, shopping, and food from the BirchTree Bread Company! Check it out on Friday, February 13th, from 5:30 to 8pm!

  1. Everyone loves dancing, head to the Palladium!

Grab your ABBA-loving friends and head to the Palladium on Valentine’s Day for the Gimme Gimme Disco dance party! Wear your glitter and dance away the cold starting at 8:30pm! This event is for ages 18+, and tickets can be purchased in advance on the Palladium website.

  1. Have a Favorite Things Party!

Invite your besties over for brunch and ask them to bring 2-3 of their favorite, inexpensive items. Face masks, favorite beverages, snacks, and other beauty products like lip glosses are great options! Each guest brings enough of each item to give out to the other guests, leaving each person with a cute basket of goodies by the end of the party!

  1. Have a Craft and Sip Night!

Recently, needlepoint kits have been all the rage on social media, and many craft stores are beginning to stock supplies. Michael’s has a multitude of beginner kits in many different styles and patterns, some even come with a mini easel for display! Couple your craft kits with some snacks and a beverage, and you’re destined to have a great night! I’m hoping to check out the new Shirley Temple Poppi flavor myself and think it would make for a festive mocktail garnished with some maraschino cherries!

So, even if you don’t have a date this Valentine’s Day, there’s no excuse to not make plans and celebrate! Grab your best friends, make a plan, and spread the love by making your weekend festive!
