Local Littleton Events: Interesting Dates and Fun Things to Do in February 2026

By Bryan Messick, REALTOR®, AI Certified Agent™ & Littleton Lifestyle Specialist

Are you counting down to spring yet, or fully leaning into winter coziness? February may be short, but it's packed with heart, history, and plenty of comfort food to enjoy along the way.

Whether you're new to Littleton or you've been here for years, this month offers a great mix of national holidays and local happenings worth marking on your calendar. From full moons and festive traditions to big games and meaningful celebrations, here's what February has in store.

February 1st: Snow Moon

Named for the heavy snowfall common this time of year, February's full moon lights up the winter sky. It's a quiet reminder of the season's beauty and stillness. If you're lucky enough to catch it on a clear night here in Littleton, the view from Chatfield Reservoir or the trails around Deer Creek Canyon is hard to beat.

February 2nd: Groundhog Day

Will we get six more weeks of winter, or an early spring? All eyes are on the groundhog as this quirky tradition returns once again. In Colorado, we know better than to trust a rodent's weather prediction, but it's still fun to play along.

February 7th: National Fettuccine Alfredo Day

Rich, creamy, and endlessly comforting, this classic pasta dish is perfect for a chilly February evening. If you don't feel like cooking, I'd start with Angelo's Taverna or Marino's Pizzeria for some of the best Alfredo in town.

February 8th: Super Bowl Sunday (and Super Sunday 5K)

Game day is here. Whether you're in it for the football, the commercials, or the snacks, it's a celebration best enjoyed with good company.

If you'd rather watch with a crowd, here are a couple watch-party picks depending on who you root for:

For the 12s (Seahawks Fans):
Head to 30/70 Sports Bar & Grill right here in Littleton for a lively local crowd. If you want a massive screen experience, Tom’s Watch Bar in Downtown Denver or The Sportsbook Bar & Grill in Highlands Ranch are top-tier choices.

For the New England Faithful (Patriots Fans):
The official home base is Historian’s Ale House on South Broadway for that true "Foxboro West" vibe. For a spot closer to home in Littleton, The 303 Sports Grill is known for being a welcoming hub for Pats fans.

And if you want to start the day on a more active note, the Super Sunday 5K runs along the scenic Mary Carter Greenway right here in Littleton. It's a fun way to burn off some calories before diving into wings and nachos.

February 9th: National Pizza Day

Because pizza deserves its own holiday. From thin crust to deep dish, today's all about your favorite slice. If you want a couple solid Littleton picks, Marino's Pizzeria and Anthony's Pizza & Pasta are tough to beat.

February 12th: Lincoln's Birthday

A day to remember the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, reflecting on leadership, perseverance, and unity. It's not a federal holiday, but it's still worth acknowledging.

February 14th: Valentine's Day in Littleton

A celebration of love in all its forms: romantic, familial, and friendly. Whether it's flowers, chocolate, or quality time, it's the thought that counts.

If you're planning a night out, consider booking a table at The Pint Room or exploring the many romantic dining options in Downtown Littleton. And if you'd rather skip the crowds, grabbing takeout and enjoying it at home works just as well.

February 15th: National Flag of Canada Day

Marking the day the Canadian flag was officially adopted, this celebration honors national identity and unity. Not widely observed here in Colorado, but it's a good reminder of our neighbors to the north.

Want an easy way to celebrate? Head into Metro Denver for some Canadian-inspired comfort food at Earls Kitchen + Bar or Lob. It's a great way to show a little love for our neighbors to the north!

February 16th: Presidents' Day

A federal holiday recognizing U.S. presidents, past and present, and their roles in shaping the nation's history. Schools and government offices are closed, and it's become a popular time for long weekend getaways or catching up on home projects.

If you've been thinking about searching for a new home in Littleton, the long weekend gives you extra time to tour properties without rushing.

February 17th: Chinese New Year

A vibrant celebration welcoming the Lunar New Year with traditions centered on renewal, family, and good fortune. It's a joyful way to embrace new beginnings, and several Denver-area restaurants and cultural centers host celebrations worth checking out.

Why February Matters for Littleton Homeowners and Buyers

February isn't just about holidays and local events. It's also a smart time to think about your real estate plans for the year ahead.

If you're considering selling your home, spring listing season is right around the corner. Getting your property ready now means you'll be ahead of the rush when buyer activity picks up in March and April.

If you're looking to buy, February offers a quieter market with less competition. You have more time to explore neighborhoods, compare options, and make decisions without feeling rushed.
