Valentine's Day arrives once again on Tuesday this week. Though not everyone is fan of the holiday for various reasons, there are plenty of activities for those who do want to celebrate the occasion (as well as a few for those who don't). 

This article will cover a few of the special events taking place around town, including one that encourages you to celebrate with your furry loved ones.

There are two Valentine's Day themed events taking place on Monday for those who want to start celebrating early. 

  • The Growler Spot, a specialty craft beer store on Northside Drive, will offer a pairing of a flight of stouts with desserts like homemade brownies and chocolates starting at 4 p.m. 
  • Main St. Bar, a 21 years old and over upscale bar in Downtown Perry, will host a Canine Cupid Night where patrons can celebrate Valentine's Day along with their dogs while enjoying some cold drinks staring at 6:30 p.m.

Most of the Valentine's Day themed events in Middle Georgia will take place on Tuesday (as well as two events that have anti-Valentine's Day themes). 

  • Monkey Joe's in Warner Robins  will have a Valentine's Day Celebration for kids starting at 10 a.m. and going until 7 p.m. There will be Valentine's Day themed crafts and activities and Monkey Joe himself will also be handing out his Valentine's Day cards.
