Origins of Galentine’s Day

If you have never seen the popular television show Parks and Recreation, you are seriously missing out. Other than being a memorable show about friendship in a small town’s city government and being gut-wrenchingly hysterical, Parks and Recreation has left a lasting impression on popular culture even years after the airing of its final episode – including the creation of an entire holiday. Thus, the inaugural celebration of Galentine’s Day was born.

In episode 16 of season 2 of Parks and Recreation (aired February 2010), lead character Leslie Knope introduces Galentine’s Day as a day to show your love to the girls that make up your support system. Honestly, Leslie explains it best: “Every February 13, my lady friends 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.”
