Shellharbour Mayor Chris Homer said Valentine's Day is about connection in all its forms.
"Whether you are celebrating with a partner, friends or family, moments of connection are important, and this week offers plenty of opportunities to create them locally," Mayor Homer said.
"We encourage residents to support local experiences, spend time together and make the most of local activities this Valentine's Day."
