The shortest month of the year is positively exploding with entertainment options. Make your plans now!

A few notes:

Click the event title for more information (where available).
Except for special events, I'm limiting the concert listings to touring bands to make this list somewhat more manageable; check our Friday music listings every week to see where all of your local favorites are playing.
Watch for a Valentine's Day roundup later in February.
This list is fluid. Check back for updates, and check the weekly event roundups every Thursday.
All listings are subject to change.
