Last checked Oct. 16, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Events come from the City of Greenville’s event calendar and each organizer’s own page; dinners only from a restaurant’s own website. Where 2027 dates are not out, we give last year’s date and say so. City questions: Greenville Cares, 864-232-2273.

Valentine’s Day is Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, and Monday, Feb. 15, is Presidents Day, so many couples get a long weekend and Greenville County Schools students get the Monday off. Most Valentine’s events and menus are announced in January; this page shows what ran in 2026 so you can plan, and we update it as organizers post.

Until then, our date night guide lists restaurants, theaters and wine bars with their official links, and our brunch guide covers Sunday, Feb. 14, itself.

Just before Valentine’s, South Carolina’s statewide Restaurant Week runs in January. In 2026 it ran Jan. 8 to 18 with 62 Greenville-area restaurants, including 36 downtown, serving fixed menus, according to the city’s Restaurant Week release.
