Valentine's Day 2018 in San Francisco

San Francisco Valentine's Day Overview

It’s not entirely clear how a feast intended to honor a Christian saint named Valentine became a holiday dedicated to romantic dinners, chocolate covered strawberries, and poignant Hallmark cards. But every year on February 14th, couples from across the Bay Area come together to celebrate their relationships.

On Valentine’s Day in San Francisco couples of all shapes and sizes hit the town in the name of romance.
