Each February in Saint Charles, love takes center stage on Historic Main Street as our Valentine's Celebration, Once Upon a Valentine® Stories for the Loved & Loveless, unfolds. This micro festival blends history, fun, and spirited entertainment for locals and visitors alike. Join us for an array of activities embracing both the adoration and the playful disdain for Valentine's Day traditions.
This festival caters to a diverse audience, ensuring an inclusive experience for families, friends, and those seeking unconventional V-Day activities. With a combination of pro and anti-Valentine's Day programming, Once Upon a Valentine® promises something for everyone, whether you're a hopeless romantic or you roll your eyes when the heart-shaped candy boxes hit store shelves.
