SPOTLIGHT STORY — How Valentine’s Season Shapes a Loveland Winter
Loveland’s designation as America’s Sweetheart City doesn’t just linger in February — it starts building momentum weeks before Valentine’s Day. This year, that energy is already rolling through the city in the form of special Valentine products, community milestones, and opportunities to explore downtown with a seasonal twist.
For example, local makers and venues have begun releasing Valentine coffee blends, seasonal cupcakes, and official love locks that let visitors and locals alike lock a moment of connection on Loveland’s iconic Love Lock sculptures. Whether you're grabbing a Sweetheart Blend brew or strolling through downtown shops to find heart-themed goodies, there’s a warm, local-first reason to get out and explore this weekend.
Why it hits this weekend: These touches make a cold weekend feel intentional and inviting — not just another winter chill. Exploring shops, tasting seasonal treats, and discovering small festive moments gives Loveland winter energy without the crowds or big spending.

Meet Petra! I am a sweet and gentle Dane looking for a home. I like to take naps on the couch and sniff around the yard. I can be fearful of new people at first so I need a home without kids under 12. I can get nervous around other dogs so I need to be your only pup. I would love to have a chance to win your heart and become your best friend.
