What is Galentine’s Day?
Galentine’s Day is an unofficial holiday that was created by Leslie Knope, a character from Parks & Recreation. In the second season of the show that debuted in 2010, Leslie gathered a group of her closest friends to celebrate Galentine’s Day (the episode’s name). A day of “ladies celebrating ladies” was such a wholesome idea that it became something that people actually marked in their calendars. Of course, the holiday is not just for women – anyone can celebrate it!
While it’s technically not a ‘real’ holiday, a lot of people now celebrate Galentine’s Day and many retailers and restaurants have offers and discounts running on the day.
