For some, February 14 is the most romantic day of the year; others truly despise it. This holiday is not only known as “Valentine’s Day,” but also as “National Single Awareness Day.” For those who are taken, it is a day of romance, love and exchanges of gifts, while the rest of the single population are either left to sulk, or make their own celebrations complete with chocolate, friends, and a few classic romantic movies. Luckily, whether you’re single or spoken for, there are a variety of events to participate in this Valentine’s Day weekend in Philadelphia!
