When is Valentine’s Day?
173 days away
Valentine’s Day falls on Sunday, February 14, 2027. It is 173 days away.
Valentine’s Day is February 14 every year. It is a civic observance, not a federal public holiday, so banks, USPS and the NYSE typically operate if the date falls on a weekday.
Cards, flowers, and dinner reservations — named for a saint but shaped mostly by school valentine exchanges and drugstore candy aisles. No day off, but hard to miss in mid-February.
