Celebrate Valentine’s Day the Local Way in Boone County ❤️
This Valentine’s Day, skip the predictable plans and celebrate like a local in Boone County. Whether you’re planning a romantic date, a Galentine’s outing, or a fun night out with friends, our communities are full of creative, hands-on experiences that turn Valentine’s weekend into something truly special.

Get cozy in a private igloo at Boone County Cake Company, or spark something new by making your own candle at Fire + Fern Apothecary by Ulen Candle Company in Lebanon, Cedar Creek Candles in Zionsville, or explore custom scents to find the perfect fragrance at Pittsboro Candle Company in Jamestown.
Looking for something that grows with your love? Head to Abby’s Garden Parties in Zionsville to build a custom terrarium-choose your pot, plants, and finishing touches for a one-of-a-kind creation, no green thumb required.
Ready to shake things up? 🍸 Four Finger Distillery is hosting a Valentine’s Day Cocktail Class where a skilled mixologist will guide you through crafting two swoon-worthy cocktails you can recreate at home. The evening includes a welcome cocktail, a light snack, and plenty of mixing, sipping, laughing, and maybe even a little flirting. Perfect for date night, Galentine’s, or a fun night out with friends.
If brunch is more your style, don’t miss Stupid Cupid Galentine’s Day Luxury Brunch at The Sixpence-the party of the season. Enjoy a luxe brunch spread, signature cocktails and mocktails, boutique shopping, elaborate photo moments, and playful activations like a love-letter writing station, build-your-own locket bar, live guest portraits, a live piercer, VIP experiences, and more. Come eat, drink, shop, dance, and celebrate all day long-whether you bring your besties or come solo and make new friends.
Round out the weekend by dining local, shopping local, and picking up flowers from a local florist, then take a romantic stroll through one of Boone County’s many parks-including the Luminaria Walk at Creekside Nature Park in Zionsville on Friday, February 13 for a glowing, picture-perfect finish.
This Valentine’s Day, fall in love with Boone County. 💕
