Toronto Festivals & Events for This Weekend (Feb 6 - Feb 8)

If Valentine’s Day is about romantic love, this one is about the people who actually know you.

On February 15, Kithship is hosting Best Beloved Dinner - an intimate Galentine’s-style dining experience designed to celebrate friendship, chosen family, and platonic love. Think candlelit tables, good food, meaningful moments, and an excuse to gather your favourite people for a night that feels special without feeling performative.
Hosted at Nuna Kitchen + Bar on Queen West, the evening is intentionally small and thoughtfully curated - less crowded event, more shared experience.

Guests will enjoy:

• A gourmet three-course prix-fixe dinner

• Galentine’s-themed beverages (with a drink ticket included)

• A photobooth to capture the memories

• Curated take-home gift packages

• A few sentimental surprises sprinkled throughout the evening

The name Galentine’s honours the tradition of women carving out space to celebrate love beyond marriage or milestones, but the table is open to all genders. Come with friends, chosen family, or anyone you’d like to celebrate.
