Love has no age limit! On Friday, February 13, 2026, Atlantic City’s senior community gathered for an elegant evening out on the town at the Friendship & Love Valentine’s Ball. Hosted by the Atlantic City Senior Services division, this beloved annual event (formerly known as the Senior Gala) brought hundreds of residents ages 55 and older together for a memorable celebration.
Held in the Grand Ballroom of The Claridge Hotel, the event transformed the space into a festive Valentine’s showcase. Guests embraced the spirit of the occasion, arriving in beautiful shades of red and pink. Attendees looked spectacular as they enjoyed an evening of dining and dancing. The celebration featured music that kept the dance floor lively throughout the night, along with exciting raffle prizes that added to the evening’s fun, and photo booths to keep the memories alive forever. Transportation was provided by the city to and from local senior residential buildings, allowing more residents to participate in the special occasion.
