Whether you’re spending this Valentine’s Day with a Valentine or a Galentine, you can join plenty of events to enjoy the holiday! Here are some of my favorite events going on this year.
24th Annual Valentine’s Day Parade
This event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 11, and lasts from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a whopping eight hours. It’s right outside of Tallahassee in the city of Crawfordville and is an absolute blast! They will have vendors for arts & crafts and multiple activities to participate in for the entire family (including bouncy houses). You can also help support the community through the multiple local businesses there, too! Overall, this parade will have so much for you and your Valentine/Galentines to do, you must check it out to get the ultimate Valentine’s Day experience.
Askew Student Life Center: Ready or Not
If a chill, casual night to reject the typical Valentine’s Day events seems like the type of thing for you, you should watch the ultimate anti-romance movie at the ASLC, Ready or Not (2019) on Feb. 10. What would be a better way to spend the holiday than a thriller? It’s free for all FSU students with a valid FSU ID, $3 for FSU faculty/staff/alumni, and $6 for general admission.
