What to Do on Valentine’s Day in Ventura 2025
Whether you have a special someone in your life, you’re spending the evening with friends, or solo-ing the holiday, there’s plenty to do in Ventura on Valentine’s Day and the holiday weekend. From delicious special menus for a romantic dinner for two to fun events for the entire crew, here’s what to do on Valentine’s Day in Ventura.

Head over to this Midtown wine bar for wine, a delicious pita menu, a DJ set, and a special ice cream social on Valentine’s Day. Food is served from 5:30 pm until it’s sold out and the DJ party begins at 7 pm.
If you’re looking for more things to do in the area, take some time to explore Midtown Ventura before the party.
