Valentine's Day - some find it romantic, for others it's just excessive commercial kitsch. Others would like to celebrate the day, but don't have a partner to celebrate it with.

And perhaps our lowest common denominator is that Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about commerce or romantic love - we can simply use the day as an opportunity to create new memories together with our loved ones! And that's exactly what this 14.02.2025, which also falls on a Friday this year, is actually perfect for! 💌

There are lots of great events waiting for you in the Ruhr area on Valentine's Day 2025 that are anything but basic! Whether you want to get really kitschy or prefer a more down-to-earth approach, we got you!

With this in mind: be kind to each other. 💕
