Galentine's Day

Female friendship holiday

Galentine's Day is an informal holiday on February 13th when women celebrate their female friendships, typically with brunch, gifts, or parties.

The term originated from the television show *Parks and Recreation* and has since entered broader use: We're doing Galentine's Day at my place this year.

It serves as a counterpoint to the romantic focus of Valentine's Day.
