This February, Araneta City is turning up the romance to celebrate the season
of love. The City of Firsts ensures that love is felt, seen, and heard—whether
you’re a couple, a soon-to-be lover, or enjoying the season solo.
To mark the month of hearts, Gateway 1 and 2, Ali Mall, and Farmers Plaza will
bloom with floral installations, arches, and garland wraps, transforming the
complex into the ultimate romantic destination. These stunning displays will
be paired with engaging activities to keep hearts happy and full.
From sweet date ideas to unforgettable shared experiences, Araneta City
invites everyone to celebrate love—whether commemorating a milestone or simply
savoring the season, the City of Firsts promises moments that linger long
after February ends.
Endless Love Across Gateway (February 8 to 14)
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, finding the perfect bouquet has
never been easier—ready-made arrangements, complete with ribbons and
dedication cards, will be available across Araneta City, making it convenient
for everyone to share their love. And for a touch of magic, Cupids will roam
the city on Valentine’s Day itself, spreading love in the air, while couples
can take an exclusive horse-drawn carriage ride for a truly unforgettable
romantic experience.
Petals & Love (February 12 to 14)
Gateway Mall 2 transforms Valentine’s Day into a celebration of romance,
offering couples delightful experiences like a dynamic 360-camera photobooth,
sweet chocolate indulgences, and an interactive flower bar where blooms come
together in personalized arrangements. Araneta City is also hosting a
Valentine’s photo contest where mallgoers can snap photos in displayed floral
frames—My First Date, Forever, or My Person—and share them on social media.
Participants simply need to tag Araneta City, use the hashtag #MomentsOfBloom,
and choose the frame that best reflects their journey, with one winner per
frame set to receive a special Valentine’s prize.

activity and let their love blossom.
Hearts & Harmonies (February 14)
What’s a romantic escapade without live music? This Valentine’s Day at Farmers
Plaza, a line-up of P-Pop artists will serenade couples, filling the air with
the melodies and rhythms of OPM. Sing along, sway to the music, and let the
tunes set the perfect mood for a day to remember.
Run in Full Bloom (February 15)
What better way to kick off Valentine’s Day than with a floral fun run in the
morning? Exercise is a great way to spend quality time while boosting health
and well-being, and this event adds a playful twist with a flower headdress
contest—participants can show off their most creative designs while enjoying
free flower candies to stay energized along the route.
