Love isn't just a holiday in Edina — it's a lifestyle. February is the perfect time to slow down and savor the city's most romantic corners, from the boutique-lined streets of 50th & France to the sparkling ice at Centennial Lakes Park. Whether you're planning a special night out, shopping for the perfect gift, or simply enjoying the season with your favorite people, Edina has a way of making every moment feel a little more extraordinary.
Love, Local & 50th & France
The 50th & France district — with more than 175 shops, restaurants, and services — is made for a romantic wander. Start your morning at Bellecour for exceptional coffee and French pastries, then browse Senti for curated fashion finds. Stop into The Petal for a custom bouquet that says exactly what words can't. When evening arrives, settle into Thérèse for refined French dining or let the New Orleans spirit of Mr. Paul's Supper Club set the mood. Cap the night at Noma Hi-Fi Lounge for craft cocktails in a warm, inviting space.
Luxury & Leisure at Southdale Center
Southdale Center brings together the kind of luxury that makes gift-giving effortless — Louis Vuitton, David Yurman, and Kendra Scott are all under one roof. Pick up a bottle of wine from Edina Liquor or specialty ingredients from Kowalski's Markets for a romantic evening at home. Or skip the cooking entirely and spend the evening at Puttshack for high-tech mini golf or Dave & Buster's for a playful, laugh-filled date night.
Refined Romance at the Galleria
The Galleria Edina is the destination for those who want to make a statement. Find a meaningful piece at Mille or let JB Hudson Jewelers help you find the ring that changes everything. Treat your person to crêpes at Sweet Paris Crêperie or an indulgent dinner at CōV Edina — lobster, thoughtful cocktails, and a setting that does all the talking. Laserie and Face Foundrié round out the experience with spa and beauty treatments that feel like a gift in themselves.
The Most Romantic Spots in Edina
When it comes to iconic Edina moments, two locations rise to the top. Centennial Lakes Park offers winter ice skating on a scenic 10-acre lake, with the park's fountains and walking paths creating a dreamy backdrop year-round. For something quieter, Arneson Acres Park's formal gardens are a perennial favorite for proposals and peaceful strolls alike.
Galentine's Day in Edina
February isn't just for couples. Edina makes an equally compelling case for celebrating the friendships that sustain us year-round. Gather your crew for a wine bar evening, a yoga session or sauna experience, a furniture-browsing adventure, nail care, massages, brunch, or a morning of ice skating at Centennial Lakes. And if you want to stretch the celebration into spring, the Galleria's annual floral workshop is a beloved March tradition worth booking early.
