Many people think the season of Valentine’s Day is all about going on a date or having a significant other. However, friends are just as important and deserve a day of love, too.

In fact, Galentine’s Day is not just a made-up holiday; it is a holiday celebrated all across the world that celebrates women’s friendships. Galentine’s Day is typically celebrated on February 13 but can be celebrated from the first of February through Valentine’s Day itself on February 14.

The holiday is said to have originated from the famous show Parks and Recreation, specifically from season two, episode 16, titled “Galentine’s Day.” This episode features the lead character Leslie Knope, who celebrates Galentine’s Day with her group of friends at a local diner.

Galentine’s Day is specially made for celebrating girls. You don’t need a date for this holiday, just your best friend and anything and everything pink and heart-shaped.
