What does Galentine mean?
Observed on February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day celebrates platonic friendships, usually among women.

Where does Galentine come from?
On February 11, 2010, the TV sitcom Parks and Recreation released an episode called “Galentine’s Day” (Season 2, Episode 16). In this episode, the effervescent and earnest lead character Leslie Knope explained the made-up holiday, Galentine’s Day: “Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.” The word galentine itself blends gal and valentine.

Since the episode, Galentine’s Day expanded into the broader popular culture. Some actual Galentine’s Day celebrations involve getting together with friends to exchange small gifts and eat brunch, especially waffles, a favorite of Knope’s character on Parks and Recreation.

One 2017 New York Post op-ed called out the “rebranding” and commercializing of Galentine’s Day. According to writer Hailey Eber, making Galentine’s Day mainstream takes the fun and sincerity of “eschewing Valentine’s Day” out of it. But as Megan Garber wrote for The Atlantic, the “normalizing” of Galentine’s Day is a “subversive” action that should be celebrated.

Is Galentine's only for ~LaDiEs~?
Nah. Anyone and everyone can celebrate Galentine's Day
At its gooey heart, Galentine's Day is a celebration of friendship and the people who stick by your side as romantic relationships come and go. Like the holiday it precedes, it's a day dedicated to showing the most important people in your life how much you care about them. It's corny. It's cheesy. And that's what makes it great.
