Exploring local events is one of the best ways to enjoy your community — whether you already live near a Conner Homes neighborhood or are considering a move to one. February brings seasonal celebrations, cultural festivals, indoor adventures, and classic Pacific Northwest charm for all ages.
Lunar New Year Celebrations Across Seattle
February kicks off with vibrant Lunar New Year events throughout the city.
Tết in Seattle celebrates Vietnamese New Year with live music, dance, food vendors, and cultural performances at Seattle Center — a colorful, free festival for all ages.
Families can continue the celebration at the Lunar New Year Family Festival at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, where lion dances, art stations, and storytelling create a hands-on cultural experience for kids.
For a lively evening vibe, the Lunar New Year Night Market at Magnuson Park brings food vendors, performances, and local artists together for an energetic celebration.
Valentine’s Month: Date Nights & Galentine Fun
February isn’t just for couples — it’s a season for celebrating connection in every form.
For a playful 21+ night out, After Hours: No Pressure Valentines at the Seattle Aquarium combines music, food, and DJ energy in a unique waterfront setting.
Couples looking for dinner and entertainment can enjoy the Be My Valentine Dinner & Show, featuring a prix fixe menu and live performance, or laugh together at a Valentine’s Comedy Show at Forum Social House.
Friend groups are embracing Galentine’s Day fun across Bellevue and Seattle, with brunches, spa days, and themed gatherings that celebrate friendship just as much as romance.
Families can join the celebration too. Family & Galentine events pop up at libraries and community centers throughout February, featuring crafts, cookie decorating, and kid-friendly workshops that turn Valentine’s into a playful family tradition.
Winter Festivals & Big Experiences
Seattle stays lively in February with large-scale events that brighten the winter season.
The Northwest Flower & Garden Festival transforms the Seattle Convention Center into an indoor garden escape filled with colorful displays and workshops.
The Seattle Boat Show invites families to explore exhibits and interactive displays — a classic regional winter event.
For unforgettable entertainment, Cirque du Soleil: ECHO brings acrobatics and storytelling under the Big Top at Marymoor Park in Redmond. It’s a high-energy performance that captivates both kids and adults.
Black History Month: Learning, Culture & Community
February is also Black History Month, a time to honor Black history, culture, and contributions — and the Puget Sound offers thoughtful, family-friendly ways to engage throughout the month.
Local museums, libraries, and community organizations host educational programs, storytelling events, cultural performances, and art-focused experiences designed to be welcoming for all ages. These activities provide meaningful opportunities for families to learn together, spark conversation, and celebrate the diversity that shapes our region.
Wildlife & Outdoor Adventures
Even winter days are perfect for outdoor exploration.
A favorite South Sound tradition, Northwest Trek’s Kids ‘n’ Critters event connects families with wildlife through interactive encounters and educational programs.
Closer to home, the Snohomish County Centennial Trail and Interurban Trail in Kent offer scenic winter walks and bike rides — simple adventures that turn into meaningful family time.
Even in cooler weather, the Puget Sound region buzzes with activities that bring people together — from seasonal festivals to moments of cultural learning and reflection. Living in a Conner Homes community means you’re not just buying a home — you’re embracing the lifestyle and connections that make each season meaningful.
