Valentine’s Day weekend is upon us, and whether you’re spending this annual celebration of love with your significant other, friends, or family, this special occasion calls for something unforgettable and thoughtful.
Typical dates usually fall on intimate dinners, a night at the movies, or a romantic stroll at the park. There’s nothing wrong with these tried-and-true romantic gestures. However, you can always kick it up a notch and elevate your game by attending and spending your Valentine’s Day on something music and community-driven.
At the end of the day, it’s about being thoughtful and caring in making whoever you choose to spend this day with feel loved and seen. Billboard Philippines celebrates the season of love with these date ideas that fuel and keep the love and music alive — from intimate and romantic musical performances to collective moments that amplify the spirit of love.
