While Valentine's Day gets all the credit, many people don't realize that there are actually seven (unofficial) holiday days leading up to the biggest romantic day of the year. If you’re a romantic at heart, you’ve got a full eight days a week to show how much you care. Now that we’ve passed you a love note with this little secret, you can up your Valentine’s game starting with Rose Day on February 7 to Propose Day, Teddy Day, Chocolate Day, Kiss Day and Hug Day, and then finally – Valentine's Day. We all need a new story this year, so let’s make 2021 a love story for the books! How does Irving love you? Let us show you the days. Love is all around!

February is peeking around the corner. Will it see its shadow? Will it offer up love and romance? One thing we know for sure is that February will be full of fun and diverse activities here in Irving to enjoy both in-person and online.

We’re dedicating this #ThrowbackThursday to one of Irving’s biggest game-changers - the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas, which opened 10 years ago this week. Hosting a wide variety of events from large public shows, to small meetings, to sporting events and more, the building is as flexible as it is beautiful and served as the catalyst that spurred the development of Irving’s Entertainment District.

But the road to developing a convention center in Irving took many twists and turns along the way. Join us as we travel back in time and learn the history of this architecturally stunning structure. As always, for the young and young-at-heart, we’ve included a familiar puzzle. Click on the image below to load the online puzzle. Now, let's get started.

While it's very tempting to just relax at home and binge on our favorite shows (and our favorite snacks), now is the best time to start or maintain a physical health regime. These days, with fewer shopping trips and working from home, we've gained more time to take care of ourselves, to get outdoors and be active. Deep down we all know that a healthy body is a happy body and that nothing tastes as good as being fit feels. So with our moderate days and cool evenings, now is the perfect time to start exploring the many trails and nature parks found all over Irving. Grab your favorite fall jacket, sneakers, and let’s hit the trails! 

While we all have been trying our best to stay home and safe during these times, it is so important to get fresh air and stay active if you can. In Irving, you will find several parks and trails, great for all levels of physical activity. From quaint neighborhood ponds to large wooded acres, here is a list of easy walking trails to find in Irving!
