Step away from the apps and into real conversations. Join us for an evening designed to help local singles connect face-to-face in a relaxed, fun atmosphere—just in time to find a Valentine.

Each ticket is $20 and includes a drink ticket to help break the ice. Upon arrival, participants will complete a brief preference and information form used only by event staff to ensure smooth matchmaking and event flow—your details are never shared publicly.

You’ll rotate through a series of 5–7 minute mini-dates, giving you the chance to meet multiple singles in one evening without the pressure of long conversations or awkward small talk.

Tired of swiping? Start connecting.
Dress to impress—this could be the start of something new. 💕

Testimonial:  We’ve seen real connections happen here. When we hosted a speed dating event 11 years ago, one of the couples who met that night is still together today. It’s a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is the right setting and a little spark.

Ditch the dinner reservation and dance your way into Valentine’s Day! Join us February 14 from 5–6 PM for a Valentine’s Day Date Night Dance with ZoeDance, plus 30 minutes of open dance after class. No experience needed—just bring your partner! $40 per couple.

Free Admission for Shoppers!
