Love is celebrated in various forms, and the upcoming Ultimate Valentine\u2019s Village Market, dubbed “Love Town,” is set to provide a unique platform for couples, families, and friends to embrace the spirit of romance.<\/p>\n

A press statement released earlier today revealed that it is scheduled to take place from February 14 to 16, 2025.<\/p>\n

This event will unfold at Goodwill Park, conveniently located near the Deliverance Baptist Church and Ruben\u2019s Bread Depot on Federation Drive. Organizers say attendees can look forward to a delightful experience featuring an array of local micro-food vendors, artisans, and engaging activities designed to enhance the Valentine’s celebration.<\/p>\n

The marketplace promises a diverse selection of offerings, from treats to floral gifts and beauty products, catering to those in search of the perfect Valentine’s gift. Alongside shopping opportunities, visitors will be able to enjoy live music, interactive games, and romantic photo spots throughout the venue. Artist Shadrach Burton will also host sip and paint sessions each evening from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., allowing guests to reserve tickets in advance or join on the day.<\/p>\n

Ashma McDougall, owner of Grazed by Asch and the event organizer, highlighting the aspect of community, emphasizes the significance of showcasing the beauty and potential within Dominica. She remarked, “Too often, we travel and fall in love with what the world has to offer, forgetting that we have so much right here in Dominica.”<\/p>\n

McDougall expressed gratitude towards the local business community for their support in bringing Love Town to fruition, thanking companies such as Lindo Mart, St. James Guesthouse, Big W, NexConnex, ACS 7-11 Mart, and Harris Paints for their contributions.<\/p>\n

Some of the highlights slated for the weekend:<\/p>\n

A curated marketplace featuring local artisans and businesses
\nLive music and entertainment
\nRomantic photo booths and themed d\u00e9cor
\nSweet treats, gourmet delights, and Valentine-themed dining experiences
\nSpecial Valentine\u2019s-themed activities<\/p>\n
