Arbor Annie’s Valentine’s Day Weekend Roundup – February 14-16

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you are celebrating on Friday or postponing until the weekend, I hope everyone enjoys the day. It is also President’s Day weekend, but without a three day weekend it doesn’t standout as much.

Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks

First, yes it is President’s Day weekend. However, with Ann Arbor Public Schools in session on Monday, it’s not quite a 3 day weekend for many families.

Start the weekend off with a Valentine Dining Experience. From themed foods to discounts, check out our suggestions for Valentine’s Dinner Plans.

Continue the celebration with events still on Saturday like the ScienceFest at AAHOM or a Daddy Daughter Dance at Meri Lou Murray Rec Center.

This weekend is the 50th Annual Train Show and Sale in Saline. Or check out some of the Black History Month celebrations.

School open houses continue , particularly Kindergarten/Young 5 roundups. Remember, Friday night is the deadline for the Community High School Lottery.
