Love is in the air! Whether you are spending this upcoming Valentine’s Day with a loved one, gal pals or yourself, here are some lovely ideas for what to do in the city of Kingsport.

What is more classic than a beautiful candlelit dinner accompanied by a string quartet to celebrate with your significant other? Wine and dine your partner with an evening at The Reserve filled with drinks, plated dinner and a chocolate fondue for two. Book your tickets here for a magical evening. If you are looking for a different experience, make sure to book a reservation at Giuseppe's or The Chop House before the spots fill up.

Relax with your partner by booking a couples massage at The First Lady Day Spa or attend a partner yoga class at the Farmstead Museum in Bays Mountain Park.

Have a laugh with your loved one at a hilarious live comedy show with Plum Crazy Improv. The Valentine’s Day show starts at 8 p.m. at the Market Street Social Club. Tickets are $20 and the interactive show will keep you entertained.

Have a fun-filled day at Fizzy Fairway with a Valentine’s Day Special that lasts from 12-9 p.m. Enjoy a round of mini golf, an arcade pass, two drinks, two scoops of ice cream and a box of chocolates all for $28. 

Support your local florist by buying a bouquet of flowers for that special someone who appreciates being remembered. Check out Downtown Flowers and Gift Shop for detailed arrangements that your loved one would swoon over. The local shop even has teddy bears or balloons to make the gift even lovelier. 

This holiday is not only a chance to celebrate romantic relationships, but it also can be a time to celebrate beloved friendships. “Galentine’s” is a fun way to meet up with your girlfriends and have a ball. Get pampered and stop by your local nail salon. Or you can go all out! Pure Beauty Aesthetics is a medical spa that offers facials, skin treatments, waxing and much more. You and your best friend can leave with matching bracelets, necklaces or any permanent jewelry of your choice.

It’s also OK to celebrate the holiday by staying home with your significant other. Recreating your first date, baking special treats, making chocolate-covered strawberries or watching a romantic movie together are just a few ways to show love.

We hope you have a spectacular evening filled with joy, love and laughter with your loved ones. Happy Valentine’s Day!
