Loveland, Ohio – The City of Loveland has announced dates for its third annual Hearts Afire Weekend, February 9-11.
The 2024 Hearts Afire Weekend will take place the weekend before Valentine’s Day. Most activities will take place on Saturday.
The weekend will feature live ice carving, outdoor decorations, a Valentine’s pageant, fireworks, carriage rides, and fire twirlers. The popular ice sculpture walking tour will return featuring unique designs for photo ops.
Local businesses in the city’s Historic Downtown will bring the heat with shopping and dining specials, as well as unique activities and open houses. Some of the weekend fun includes:
- “Galentine” night
- Valentine-themed variety show
- Chasing Cupid 5K
- Dance lessons
- Taylor Swift-themed brunch
In the spirit of love, the event will give back to the community. The city is partnering with the Loveland Stage Company, which is raising money to replace its theater’s HVAC system. On Feb. 9 and 10, the theater will host Crushin It, a Valentine-themed variety show. All proceeds will go toward the HVAC fundraiser.
Additionally, the city is hosting a Hearts Afire Valentine Pageant at the Loveland Stage Company on Saturday for children ages 1-4. The pageant will be judged by the Loveland Valentine Ladies, a local group of women known for their community service. All proceeds will go to the Loveland Stage Company’s HVAC system.
