Valentine’s Day is coming up next Saturday. I noticed today that Balboa Park is getting ready. Hearts are appearing all over San Diego’s dearly beloved park!
First, look what I found when I stepped into the Balboa Park Visitors Center. Smiles and matching hearts!


I noticed Valentine’s Day balloons in the Plaza de Panama…

The 50th Annual Small Image Show is taking place in Spanish Village’s Gallery 21, now called the Village Arts Outreach Gallery. The free exhibition continues through Sunday, February 22, 2026.
I found a heart among the small works of art!

Here’s a beautiful kiln formed glass heart created by Spanish Village artist Jackie Murphy.

Perhaps not the heart you were expecting! One of many unique works at the San Diego Sculptors Guild seems made for pumping . . . love?

I found another heart–this time in the House of France cottage at the International Cottages.

This cool old 1909 International Harvester 5-Passenger Tourer at the San Diego Automotive Museum has a big heart!

Sign in the House of Germany cottage states: Balboa Park is the heart of San Diego! Keep it FREE for Everyone!
