DFW Weekend Guide: February 13–16, 2026
Valentine’s weekend in DFW is packed with experiences for couples, families, and friends—from celestial light walks and concerts to WWE, comedy, and ballet. Here are highlight ideas you can feature from Friday through Monday.
Astra Lumina – Celestial Night Walk (Trinity Forest Adventure Park, Dallas)
For a romantic-but-unique evening, Astra Lumina turns a wooded trail into a glowing “starlit” walk with light, sound, and immersive projections. The roughly one-mile path makes for a quiet, photo-friendly Valentine’s date that feels more magical than a standard dinner.
LoveStruck: Cirque Cabaret (Station 4, Dallas)
LoveStruck is a cirque-style cabaret blending acrobatics, burlesque, and high-energy choreography for an adults-only Valentine’s night out. Set inside Station 4 in Oak Lawn, it is a bold pick for couples or friend groups looking for something theatrical, late-night, and very not-traditional.
Sinatra & Bublé Valentine’s Tribute + The Simon & Garfunkel Story (Eisemann Center, Richardson)
The Eisemann Center offers back-to-back Valentine’s concerts: a “Sinatra & Bublé: A Valentine’s Tribute” on February 13, and The Simon & Garfunkel Story on February 14. It is an easy way to build a classic date night—dinner in Richardson or along US‑75, followed by nostalgic live music in a theater setting.
Valentine’s Day at The Adolphus & The French Room (Downtown Dallas)
Downtown, The Adolphus hosts special Valentine’s offerings including a multi-course dinner and Valentine’s Tea in The French Room from February 9–16. This is a strong option for clients who want a luxe, old-world Dallas experience, complete with architecture, cocktails, and lingering in the lobby bar.
Downtown Dallas Valentine’s Day at Pegasus Plaza
Downtown Dallas, Inc. presents a Valentine’s Day gathering at Pegasus Plaza on Friday, February 13, with a themed evening in the heart of the central business district. It is a good “in the city” idea to pair with nearby restaurants and bars for people who want to stay walkable and urban.
WWE Friday Night SmackDown + Concerts (American Airlines Center & Around Town)
On February 13, WWE Friday Night SmackDown takes over American Airlines Center, giving wrestling fans a big-arena option for the weekend. Elsewhere in Dallas that night, lineups include redveil with Chenayder at Ferris Wheelers and the Aleman & Gera MX “Rich Mafia Tour” stop at South Side Ballroom, providing music-driven alternatives.
Valentine’s Comedy & Ballet – Fair Park & Fort Worth
Fair Park’s Music Hall hosts a Valentine’s Day Comedy Show on February 14, giving couples a laugh-forward option instead of a formal dinner. In Fort Worth, the lighthearted ballet Coppélia at I.M. Terrell Performing Arts Center runs February 14–15, blending romance, humor, and classic choreography for a family-friendly or date-night outing.
DFW-Wide Valentine’s Ideas & Ongoing Events
Regional guides also highlight options like “Valentine’s on Tap” at the Perot Museum, jazz nights, parties, and bar crawls across Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, and Uptown. You can also fold in evergreen experiences—city views, Mavs/Stars home games if the schedule aligns, Arboretum walks, or museum visits—to fill in the daytime hours before evening plans.
