Valentine's Day 2027 is a Sunday. The Father Daughter Ball is Feb. 5-6, Orchestra Kentucky plays SKyPAC Feb. 13, plus the dinners venues held in 2026.

Last checked Oct. 16, 2026. This page is updated each year; it is set up for Valentine’s Day 2027. Most venues post their Valentine’s plans in January, so where only the 2026 or 2025 event is known, we say which year it is from. Every listing comes from the venue’s own page or the Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (270-782-0800).

Valentine’s Day 2027 falls on Sunday, Feb. 14, so expect Bowling Green’s dinners and shows to spread across Friday, Feb. 12, Saturday, Feb. 13, and Sunday. Two events are already on the calendar: the Father Daughter Ball on Feb. 5-6 and Orchestra Kentucky’s country night at SKyPAC on Feb. 13.
