Whether aiming to spend Valentine’s Day with a sweetheart or looking for an excuse to celebrate being single come Feb. 14, there’s something for everyone when it comes to V-Day activities this week.

Those looking for an unconventional way to celebrate will enjoy The Brew House’s “Valloween” celebration. A holiday for both the loved and the loveless, Valloween mixes all the romance of Valentine’s Day with the spookiness of Halloween.

Glamorous with just a touch of spookiness, this event invites partygoers to dress in their Halloween best. Costumes are encouraged but not required. Valloween dinner specials will be available all day Thursday, Feb. 13, through Sunday, Feb. 16, with live entertainment Friday night featuring the JPT Jazz Trio and Thursday night karaoke. This is The Brew House’s third time celebrating this annual event, although this is the first time Valloween has graced the Town of Farmville.
