Many couples will opt for the traditional dinner and drinks on Valentine's Day. That's kind of the standard for the romantic holiday. But then there are those who want a little more from their Valentine's celebration — perhaps someone who wants to score creativity points with their significant other. And lucky for them, South Florida has plenty of interesting options.

Here's a list of Valentine's Day events for couples — and some for singles — including outdoor concerts, a rooftop movie screening, a bird-watching cruise, and a Galentine's Day candle-making class.

Candlelight: Valentine's Day Special

Fever's Candlelight concert series prides itself on its ambiance. Each show sees performers surrounded by candles — we're talking tons of them — to create a unique candle-lit music experience. Listeso String Quartet will once again headline this year's Valentine's Day show and play love songs like Henry Mancini's "Moon River" and Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." 6:30 and 9 p.m. Friday, February 10, at Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables, 180 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; feverup.com. Tickets cost $50 to $60.

Valentine's Day Paint, Sip, & Pose

Say cheese! Primeshots Studio's Valentine's Day paint and sip not only offers painting and mimosas but also photo booths for those who want to take part in a free professional photo shoot.

Dixie Hwy., Miami; 305-901-3021; primeshots.studio. Tickets cost $40 to $70 via eventbrite.com.

Jealousy: an Immersive Valentine's Day Dinner Theater Show

The protagonist in this immersive dinner theater show at Thank You Miami suspects his free-spirited wife of being unfaithful.
