Celebrating Valentine's Day in Rockford

Are you someone that goes all out for the people you love on Valentine's Day? I most definitely am not, but I do like to do little things for my husband and kids.

My family's Valentine's Day celebrations are more about a heart-shaped pizza and movie at home than getting dolled up for a night on the town, but that doesn't mean we are opposed to shaking things up a bit.

If you'd like to use Valentine's Day weekend as an excuse to do something fun in this year, here are 5 cool options to check out in the Rockford area...

5 Things to Do This Weekend in Rockford

As I was searching for events happening in the Rockford area this weekend I discovered fun things to do for a date night, with your kids, or even with your dog:

1. Go to a Rockford IceHogs game. 

If you already have plans for Friday night, the Rockford IceHogs also play at home on Saturday (2/15), which is a special night honoring former IceHog and Blackhawk Bryan Bickell! Get more information and tickets at icehogs.com.

2. Enjoy a night of comedy with Marlon Wayans at Hard Rock Casino Rockford. 

3. Experience an Evening With Orchids at Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens

4. Drink some PBRs for a great cause at The Olympic Tavern

FYI, The Olympic Tavern is tapping 14 handles of Pabst Blue Ribbon on Saturday with the goal to sell 500 PBRs in one day. There will also be prizes, games, and even a .5K race.

5. Go to a Treat Decorating PAWTY with the whole family at DOGGO Sit Stay Play in Loves Park.

Keep in mind, DOGGO has a Dog Bar too where you can drink some beers and have fun while your dog has fun with other pups too!
