2026-02-14 19:00 - 22:00 (America/Detroit) | Inside the Five, 5703 Main Street, Sylvania, OH, 43560, United States
🚫 CANCEL YOUR DATE WITH NETFLIX.
Let’s be honest: Valentine’s Day on a Saturday is usually a nightmare. The restaurants are packed with couples, the menus are overpriced, and staying home feels… well, boring.
Kelly and Kelsey are fixing that.
We have rented the entire Fifth Floor Loft at Inside the Five (Sylvania) for a private, premium mixer for the 30–50 crowd who want to skip the hearts and flowers and just have a damn good time.
✈️ WHO IS THIS FOR?
The “SINKs” (Single Income, No Kids), the Empty Nesters, the Travel-Obsessed, and anyone who thinks V-Day is better spent with craft beer and friends than forced romance.
🍺 THE VIBE
* The Venue: A private industrial loft with its own bar, exposed brick, and views of Main Street.
* The Crowd: No kids, no 21-year-olds. Just professionals looking for good conversation.
* The Pressure: Zero. No speed dating bells, no awkward nametags. Just a great party.
* The Entertainment: Featuring VC the MC (Toledo’s favorite host) and a live DJ spinning lounge vibes all night.
🎟️ YOUR TICKET INCLUDES
* Exclusive Access: Entry to The Fifth Floor private loft (7:00 PM – 10:00 PM).
* 1 Premium Drink Ticket: Good for Inside the Five Craft Beer, Wine, or Cocktails.
* The “Grazing” Menu: Heavy appetizers served throughout the night (ITF’s famous Pretzel Bites & Beer Cheese, Flatbreads, Meatballs, and Veggie Platters).
* The Fun: Bracelets to show your status (Purple = Single, Pink = Not Looking), games, and prizes.
⚠️ IMPORTANT DETAILS (PLEASE READ)
* Accessibility: The Fifth Floor is a historic loft space located on the second level and is stairs-only. Unfortunately, there is no elevator available.
* Dress Code: “Loft Party” Casual. Look good, feel good.
* Refund Policy: Full refunds are available up to 7 days before the event (Feb 7th). After that, tickets are non-refundable but transferable to a friend.

Party in the Park at Caninballz is an exciting opportunity for you and your pooch to come play together with other dogs! We will open our ENTIRE facility to you and your well mannered dog.

Remember – the best dog treat is an experience – wet or dry!
Important Info: Cost is $10 per dog. This is not a drop off event. Your dog is your responsibility at the party.

The Elixir of Love
2026-02-15 14:00 - 16:30 | Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St., Toledo, OH, 43604, United States
Passion. Comedy. Drama.
Spend Valentine’s Day weekend immersed in the laughter and romance of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love. When the shy and smitten Nemorino’s dream of winning the strong-willed Adina’s heart seems out of reach, he turns to a traveling purveyor of patent medicines in search of a love potion. After drinking every last drop, he sets off a cascade of comedic chaos. This heartwarming comedy embodies all the richness of Donizetti’s artistry and is simply too good to keep bottled up. Featuring laugh-out-loud moments and touching romance, this original, heartwarming comedy sparkles with wit and whimsy. Presented for the first time in over a decade, The Elixir of Love comes to life in a new production brought to life by conductor J. Ernest Green (Toledo Opera’s South Pacific, Ragtime, and The Merry Widow).
Starring David Walton (La Cenerentola) as Nemorino, Marnie Breckinridge (Company Debut) as Adina, and Jason Budd (Tosca, Cinderella, and The Merry Widow) as Dr. Dulcamara.
Sung in Italian with English Captions
