Celebration to be held on Lincoln Square in historic Gettysburg, Pa.

Couples are invited to renew their commitment to one another and celebrate the Valentine’s season in what’s been called the most romantic small town in Pennsylvania.

Gettysburg Loves Love 2024 scaled

Gettysburg Loves Love will return to historic Gettysburg on Saturday, Feb. 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. on the steps of Hotel Gettysburg at 1 Lincoln Square. Gettysburg Mayor Rita C. Frealing will lead married couples through a vow renewal ceremony at 3 p.m., which will be live streamed by Community Media of South Central PA. The free outdoor event, presented by Destination Gettysburg, Community Media and Main Street Gettysburg, is open to all.

At the first Gettysburg Loves Love event in 2024, more than 120 couples from nine states registered to attend, ranging from newlyweds to a couple who celebrated 70 years of marriage.

“Gettysburg Loves Love is a celebration of the love we have for each other and for the Gettysburg community. Our town has such a romantic atmosphere this time of year and this event really shines a light on that,” Destination Gettysburg Director of Partnership Amy Welsh said. “In the first year of the event, we hoped for at least 50 couples. We were impressed by the response and can’t wait to see how many lovebirds flock to Gettysburg this year.”

In addition to the vow renewal, visitors can look forward to giveaways, photos at the kissing booth, hot chocolate, and more. Attendees will receive a lanyard with a QR code that highlights local shops and restaurants offering special discounts or promotions in honor of Gettysburg Loves Love. Those who participate in the vow renewal will be given certificates to mark the occasion.

Couples are encouraged to RSVP for the vow renewal ceremony at GettysburgLove.org. Families, friends, and singles are also welcome to join in the celebration.
