|
| Festival of Lights |
The Indian festival of lights, Diwali, is an annual event in November. This is a time of festivities, color, and fireworks. Begin the night with cocktails at your favorite bar, and then head to Millennium Point and let the festivities sweep you away. Enjoy yummy sweet and savory snacks or dine in style the Indian way. Participate in the dances and enjoy the music. The traditional lighting of hundreds of oil lamps is an amazing experience. There are fantastic fireworks to end the night on a high note.

| National Exhibition Center |
If you both enjoy the pursuit of antiques and the experience of searching for treasures, this is a great way to spend a day together doing what you love. Check the program of the National Exhibition Center for a timetable - they have four antique fairs annually. A great opportunity to pick up a few knick-knacks (or maybe discover a real treasure-you never know), the antique fairs also feature events, such as local history-related performances.

| Jazz Performance |
The Birmingham International Jazz Festival is an ideal dating idea. The music provides a beautiful background score to your love story as it unfolds. This is also a great way to discover new bars and cafes in the city, because the events and performances are held at different locations around the city. There are close to 200 shows during the festival, so you have plenty of choice. Imagine the two of you sitting in a charming little café as the music wafts through the air while steaming cups of coffee create a miniature fog.

Beautifully planned and sculpted gardens are always ideal spots for a day outdoors. The Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses is a place of greenery, blooms, and glass. Wander through the flowerbeds and be amazed by the variety and creativity of nature. Visit the indoor aviary and the little art gallery displaying local artist's work. Finally, head for the beautiful restaurant that overlooks the garden and glasshouses and enjoy a satisfying meal and a long conversation.
