Valentine's Day is Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027. The For the Love of Chocolate 5K runs that morning at Southern Hill Farms; more Clermont events are added as venues post them.
Last checked Oct. 8, 2026. This page is updated each year at the same address. Sources: Southern Hill Farms’ events, the race’s registration page, the City of Clermont’s event calendar and Clermont Main Street. We list only what venues announce; we do not list prices or rank restaurants.
Valentine’s Day 2027 falls on a Sunday, Feb. 14. It is early: only one Clermont event had a 2027 date when we checked, a chocolate-themed 5K at a farm in south Clermont. Below are last year’s events, labeled by year, so you know what to watch for, and a short list of date ideas that do not need a reservation.
Good to know
- Confirmed for 2027: For the Love of Chocolate 5K, 8 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 14, Southern Hill Farms
- Weekend before: Valentine’s falls on Sunday, so Friday, Feb. 12, and Saturday, Feb. 13, are the big dinner nights
- Restaurants: we add Valentine’s menus only when a restaurant posts one
