For a few people, a more exciting event takes place every year on February 13. The name of this event is Galentine's Day, which is a celebration of female friendship. It was only recently that the term became popularised following the release of a 2010 episode of US sitcom Parks and Recreation. To celebrate Galentine's Day, invite all the women you know to your home. When they come, serve their favorite drinks, snacks, and appetizers. Play their favorite music, dance, and have fun with them all night long.

As Leslie put it:

“Every February 13, my ladyfriends 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.”

Observed on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day

In 2010, during season 6 (2010) of the comedy Parks and Recreation, the character Leslie throws an annual Galentine’s Day party for her girlfriend Galentine’s Day.
