To help you plan out your calendar, we’ve put together a guide to all the must-see events and activities happening right here in Winston-Salem throughout February and March 2026.

Love is in the Air: February 14th Celebrations

This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday, and the city is going to be packed with events all day long – from family-friendly history tours to those rowdy brewery bashes.

You’ll see special displays, including the very first Valentine Jule sent to his wife, Alice.
