Sure, there's Valentine’s Day for you and your significant other, but what about a special celebration just for the homies? Galentine’s is traditionally celebrated on Feb. 13th (although I’m finding events on the 12th too), and whether you’re spending time with your BFFs, gal pals, or your daughters & neices, this holiday is a super sweet occasion to share the love with just the girls!
If you’re looking for some luxe ways to celebrate this year, here are 7 local Galentine’s events that might just sweeten your heart:

And of course, Galentine’s doesn’t have to involve tickets, reservations, or getting dressed up at all.
You can always celebrate in a totally chillax way. Meet your friends at the nail salon for mani-pedis, order in pizza and watch your favorite rom-coms (I love The Proposal), or throw on cozy sweats and do a dessert-only potluck at someone’s house. You could even take a sunset walk together, grab drive-thru coffee, or turn a regular catch-up into a “no phones, just vibes” kind of night.
There’s truly no wrong way to do Galentine’s when you’re spending time with your girlfriends. Whether you go luxe, low-key, or somewhere in between, it’s all about connection, laughter, and a little extra love for the ladies who make your life sweeter.
