The Great San Francisco Valentine’s Day Pillow Fight – San Francisco
How about spending Valentine’s Day evening having a pillow fight with nearly 1,000 people? It may sound weird, but it’s definitely real and is happening in San Francisco’s Justin Herman Plaza at 6 p.m. You can bring your date, your friends, or come by yourself. Just be sure to bring your pillow!
10 Comics Show! For Valentine’s Day – Los Angeles
Watching a comedy show can be an unusual and very funny way to spend your Valentine’s Day. It’s also a great idea not only for those spending time with their dates, but for single folks as well.

9 Mile Music Festival – Miami
Spend your Valentine’s Day surrounded by the spirit of reggae music in Miami. The 22nd edition of this annual music festival will take place at the Miami-Dade Expo Center and includes big names such as Julian Marley, Soja, and The Green.
In addition to the great performances, the festival also collects canned foods that are later distributed to shelters in Miami and Jamaica.

The love will be spread around Times Square on the 14th. This special Valentine’s celebration will include romantic decorations, surprise proposals, renewals of vows, and even real weddings.
