Valentine's After Dark
February 14, 2026 5:00 PM –8:00 PM
Celebrate Valentine’s Day in a whole new light at Valentine’s After Dark, an after-hours experience at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. Whether you’re coming with a partner, a group of friends, or flying solo, this evening is all about connection, creativity, and a little romance under the stars.
Stroll our illuminated Lake Loop with a drink in hand during this sip-and-stroll style event featuring beer and wine available throughout the gardens. Mingle, explore, and enjoy a lineup of interactive experiences designed to spark fun and conversation. Who knows — you might even feel a spark with someone!
