Fever of love is at an all-time high on Valentine’s Day. Chandigarh is full of celebrating couples and everyone wants to treat their partner with love and care. As the city is painted red, here are all the places that know how to make this day special for one and all.

Spirit of togetherness

A favourite spot for every occasion, Elante mall is decked up with all things love. There is a mammoth ‘Cup of Happiness’ in which a couple has to dive and hunt for maximum number of heart-shaped cushions in 30 seconds and the winner is rewarded with special vouchers and gifts. 

Pairing love and food

With cupid all set to strike, these clubs and restaurants in Tricity are pairing attractive offers of food, music and decor, for those who want to celebrate love in all its dimensions.

Even 26 Boulevard is celebrating bonds beyond romantic ones. Here, Valentine’s Day is all about appreciating love that brings joy and positivity in life. This place has something special for couples and also those who decide to remain unattached. There are two back-to-back live band performances. The Sound of Hills enthrals the guests from noon till 3.30 pm followed by a jamming session by Haqiqat for that significant other, family and friends. 

Social cafe and lounge in Sector 7 is running a campaign called #WeDayAtSocial that believes in the more the merrier as each person in a group gets 1 per cent discount. There’s DJ M3LD to take care of music, so raise a toast to friendships and meet up with your besties and close friends here.
