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. Mary Grace Kauffman, Media Relations Manager with Destination Gettysburg, joined the spark to share more about the event. 

Gettysburg Loves Love will return to historic Gettysburg on Saturday, Feb. 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. inside the Hotel Gettysburg (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 firstGettysburg 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 recent years, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania has been recognized as a top romantic destination. In 2023, New York Travel Guides crowned Gettysburg as the most romantic small town in Pennsylvania, and in 2024 the U.S. News & World Report claimed Gettysburg as one of the Top 20 most romantic getaways in the Keystone State.
