Heartstrings A Valentine’s Circus Show
For something a little different, the Circadium School of Contemporary Circus will be presenting a special performance for Valentine’s Day weekend in Philadelphia with national and international circus artists showing off their skills. Patrons can watch acrobatics, aerials, juggling and equilibristics skills combined with dance, theatre, storytelling and spoken word for this one-night-only production.
The show will take place on the Circus Campus inside the former home of the St. Madeleine Sophie Church in West Mt. Airy with free parking. Entry will require a $20 donation to benefit the Circadium Students’ Foreign Exchange Fund. The show will take place this Friday, Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

Libertee Grounds
There are two reasons to head to Libertee Grounds for the love-filled holiday. First, on Thursday, Feb. 9, the venue will host Mini Golf Speed Dating for singles, where each dater will be handed a card where to check off which dates they enjoyed, and any mutual connections will be handed each others’ preferred contact information a few days after the event ends.
Then, on Feb. 14, Libertee will feature a four-course Valentine’s Day tasting menu featuring Mural City Cellars. MCC founders will be on site to chat about the paired wines as well. Anyone interested in either event can reserve their spot on Resy.
