Valentine's Day 2027 in Kolkata: Events & Date Ideas
1 events matching right now across Kolkata โ mostly workshop (1).
Valentine's Day 2027 falls on Sunday 14 February, and in Kolkata it arrives three days after the city's own unofficial day for young couples: Saraswati Puja, on Thursday 11 February in most calendars, when students in saris and panjabis spend the day out after the morning's puja at school and college. That gives the city a four-day stretch of couple-friendly plans. Restaurants on Park Street, Camac Street and in the five-star hotels run set-menu dinners, usually in two seatings; bars and cafรฉs book acoustic and jazz sets; and workshop studios sell couples' sessions in pottery, painting, baking and cocktail-making. For something less scripted, Kolkata has easy classics: a late-afternoon walk in the Victoria Memorial gardens or around Rabindra Sarobar, a boat ride from Prinsep Ghat at sunset, a play at the Academy of Fine Arts, coffee on College Street or a Chinese dinner in Tangra. Because the 14th is a Sunday, expect most ticketed events on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 February as well. This page lists Valentine's Week events, dinners, gigs and workshops across Kolkata, Salt Lake, New Town and Howrah as they are announced.
Good to know
- Reserve dinner at least a week ahead and ask whether the set menu is compulsory that night.
- Second seatings, from about 9:30 pm, are less rushed than the first.
- On Saraswati Puja afternoon, College Street, the Maidan, Nandan and the malls are full of students; go early or pick a quieter neighbourhood.
- Workshops for couples have small batches. Book the slot, not just the date.
- The Victoria Memorial gardens close at 6 pm, so time your walk for the hour before sunset.
