The United States Postal Service is choosing a "lovely" place to issue the LOVE Forever stamp.
The ceremony will be held on January 21, 2021 in Loveland, Colorado.
Loveland is 46-miles north of Denver, Colorado and described as both the "Sweetheart City" and "Gateway to the Rockies."
From USPS:
The United States Postal Service® will issue the Love 2021 stamp (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of 20 stamps (Item 565100). The stamp will go on sale nationwide January 14, 2021, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue. The Postal Service™ continues its popular Love series with a new stamp in 2021. The stamp art features a lighthearted and colorful digital illustration with the word “LOVE” and three large hearts shown in an unconventional palette of color duos, strikingly set against a dark blue background. The design also includes a smaller heart, a rectangle, and a semicircle. Greg Breeding was art director; Bailey Sullivan created the original art and designed the stamp.

There is no official word if there will be a First Day of Issue Dedication Ceremony in Loveland.
The Postal Service has been releasing video ceremonies since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the "Thank You" and "Innovation" ceremonies were shown during the Virtual Stamp Show in August 2020.
