If the sudden explosion of pink aisles and heart-shaped chocolates has you rolling your eyes, you’re not alone. While the rest of the city stresses over reservations and romance this Valentine’s Day, there’s also plenty of ways to flip the script. From “shred your ex” parties to indulgent spa days and rooftop soirées for the girls, this holiday is actually the perfect excuse to celebrate the loves that last longer than a bouquet of roses: your friends and yourself!
So celebrate the season of love with the following activities taking place in Miami this weekend:
Superblue Miami
