I hate to admit it, but I loathe Valentine's Day as a single man in my 20s. It's one of the hardest parts of the year to get through without having to feel jealous of all my friends happily married or in relationships. It got me thinking; where can I go during this holiday that would be fun for a single person? As it turns out, I found a few events in and around Billings that piqued my interest. If you're trying to find something to do around Valentine's Day, no matter your relationship status, check out these awesome events. Who knows, you may find your Valentine while out and about.
