Calgary Valentine’s Day Guide

As young professionals, we are used to the yearly day of red, roses, chocolate and love. For those of you looking for something to do that day – single or not – we have put together a list of what’s happening in Calgary. 

Romeo and Juliet by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
Enjoy an evening full of fantasy and wild, unbridled romance with the CPO. Experience Berlioz’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s tale of tragic love paired perfectly with the soaring passion and expressive power of Tchaikovsky’s classic interpretation. The evening closes with the virtuosic fireworks of Arnaldo Cohen and the most beloved piano concerto of all time.

Celebrate in true Science Centre fashion. Check out the Puppetronic Phenomenon, hear Dr. Susan Boon delve into the dark side of love, or take part in the sheep heart dissections. This adult only event is licenced and will have beverages available. 

In the Heat of the Night – The Calgary Zoo
Enjoy an evening of living wild with a gourmet meal and a naughty talk all about animal sex in the ENMAX Conservatory. Learn all about how bats really swing, the love life of penguins or why the male praying mantis is doomed from the start at this adults-only event.
