The annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timessquarenyc.org\/things-to-do\/love-in-times-square\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Love in Times Square celebration<\/a> returns on Saturday, February 14, turning the Crossroads of the World into a real-life rom-com set, complete with billboard proposals, public weddings and a vow renewal ceremony on the iconic Red Steps.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that\u2019s right: some couples will literally pop the question on the massive Everest billboard. The day\u2019s schedule includes two surprise proposals at 11:30am and 12:30pm, sandwiched between two wedding ceremonies at 11am and noon in Duffy Square.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The festivities will unfold against a brand-new public art installation called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timessquarenyc.org\/tsq-arts-projects\/making-love\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Making Love<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timessquarenyc.org\/tsq-arts-projects\/making-love\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">, presented by Times Square Arts and Powerhouse Arts<\/a>. Created by artists Kelsey Breen, Nellie Davis, Jacqueline Veliz, Lisa D. Archigian and Cythali Sapuis, the immersive, carousel-style sculpture opens today, February 12, and runs through February 19 on Broadway Plaza between 46th and 47th Streets. Visitors can move through different city-inspired scenes\u2014from a botanical garden to a classic New York City bodega\u2014and even grab an artist-designed love note along the way. Think theatrical pop-up book meets walk-through love story.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re less about proposals and more about long-term romance, the day wraps with the annual vow renewal ceremony at 6pm on the Red Steps. The free event welcomes couples of all backgrounds to say \u201cI do\u201d all over again, complete with a live performance from the cast of Broadway\u2019s Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York). <a href=\"https:\/\/events.humanitix.com\/love-in-times-square-2026-annual-vow-renewal-ceremony\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Registration is open online<\/a>, but spectators are just as welcome to soak up the sentiment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day, presenters David\u2019s Bridal and Sezzle will add extra Valentine\u2019s flair with photo ops, giveaways and the chance to win a free wedding gown.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re watching a proposal unfold on a billboard or just wandering through the crowds with a coffee in hand, it\u2019s one of those only-in-New-York moments that makes the city feel like the star of its own love story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If your idea of romance involves a giant LED screen, shoulder-to-shoulder crowds and a bit of main-character energy,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131505,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[43696,9,43697,56,63,65,64,43695],"class_list":{"0":"post-131504","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-categories-sex-and-dating","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-news-sex-dating","11":"tag-ny","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-nyc-headlines","14":"tag-nyc-news","15":"tag-sex-and-dating"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131504\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
