You'll love me true when I get you tickets for the Feb. 13 performance by Al Joslin, a multi award-winning Elvis Presley tribute artist. Al is considered one of the top Elvis tribute artists in the business, and returns to Downtown Arlington just in time for Valentine's Day.

Board & Brush Arlington

Let the love of art linger after Valentine's Day by attending the Third Thursday Pop Up Art Show on Feb. 18, an informal outdoor art exhibition where you can shop for original works by local artists.

Downtown Library
Share your love of literature and learning at the George E. Hawkes Downtown Library! Check out a romance novel, join an age-appropriate story time group, or take a class in the maker space. The week of Valentine's Day offers tons of options. We love the LED Valentine's Day Card class and the Valentine's Desk Sign Carvey workshop, but if your Valentine's Day tastes are a little less traditional, we highly recommend the DIY Zombie Bear Plushie workshop (this one's for teens only).

Theatre Arlington
Here's the perfect Valentine's Day combination: Cocktails & Kisses & Theatre Arlington! WIth showtimes on Feb. 12 and 13, this Valentine’s Day-themed Cabaret is filled with love songs, romance and adult beverages. It's the perfect date night (special Valentine’s Day packages will be available) or a fun way to celebrate Singles Awareness Day.

University of Texas at Arlington 
How about a live-stream serenade? On February 13, the UTA Music Department is hosting a recital by vocal student Jakob Valdez. 

We want to hear from you!
