This festive winter staple promises live music, art, delectable cuisine, shopping, and entertainment for all ages.

Tickets are good for all three days, so don't miss out on this enchanting event[4].

For those looking for a romantic evening, consider the 'Lady and the Tramp' Valentine's Dinner on February 14th from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm. And if you need a solution for the kids, Impulse Elite is hosting a Valentine’s Night Out, where they can enjoy fun activities, games, and pizza in a safe and exciting environment while you enjoy your evening out[1].

In other news, BEAT Children's Theatre is presenting their Winter musical, Finding Nemo JR, with performances already underway. If you haven't caught it yet, it's a beloved adventure about getting lost, letting go, growing up, and finding the brave little fish inside us all[1].
