Loveland is home to two of the most enormous love lock sculptures in the U.S. Love locks are a symbol of love and commitment inspired by an ancient custom where lovers lock a padlock on a chain or gate throw away the key, symbolically locking their love forever. The love lock sculptures allow love locks to stay locked forever in the nation’s Sweetheart City on a beautiful piece of art.

• The Quest for Dan Cupid – A socially-distanced scavenger hunt | Monday, February 1 – Monday, February 15 | Free

A quest during the first two weeks of February to find Dan Cupid and bring him back in time for Valentine’s Day so he can shoot his arrow of love to those across the world from the nation’s Sweetheart City. Participants will be entered to win the ultimate Loveland experience trip worth over $500 with hotel stay, food, shopping, and more.

• Lights and Art Installations | Various dates | Free

  • Valentine-themed lights can be found across Loveland to celebrate valentine’s season. Head downtown for the “Something RED” art installations and community mural from the Creative District, the Tunnel of LOVE, and valentine displays in the Foundry Plaza.

  • “Something RED” features local artist interpretations of the color RED – the color of action, violence, heat, luck, happiness, and passion. Installations include glowing symbols of love and luck, sailors’ valentine, and even a robot cheering up his broken-hearted friend. Windows will feature a speakeasy collage, video work, and even a pair of Firebirds from Friday, February 12 through Friday, March 12.

  • Participants can also help create the “Stamp” Your Love community mural on display at the corner of 4th Street and Lincoln Ave. Artist Scott Freeman is working with the Loveland Museum to set up a socially-distanced, safe experience for community members to create pieces for the mural.
