What is Galentine’s Day?

Ladies, forget Valentine's drama - February 13th is for the real MVPs! It's Galentine's Day, when women everywhere ditch the romance for waffles, wine, and wild stories with their ride-or-die crew. Created by the fictional queen Leslie Knope but embraced by real-world warriors, it's the holiday where "single and fabulous" meets "married but still needs her girls." Watch as normally composed professionals transform into karaoke superstars, sharing embarrassing dating stories over bottomless mimosas. Because nothing says "female friendship" like ugly-crying over Parks and Recreation reruns while crafting questionable DIY gifts at midnight.

Check the list of events above to find a Galentine’s Day event near you!
