If you're trying to avoid Valentine's Day for whatever reason, you may want to check out some of these Philadelphia-area events.

PHILADELPHIA — Talk about Valentine’s Day dominates in February, but for multiple reasons, it’s not everyone’s day of choice. We won’t go into them, but there are other things to do in the Philadelphia area at this time of year.

Monday is Presidents Day. It’s a free-admission day at facilities operated by the National Park Service. From classic rock tribute performances to mystery theater dinners, mardi gras fun to chocolate tours, the Philly region has plenty to do this weekend.
