The Origin of Galentine’s Day: What’s the Hype?

If you’ve never heard of Galentine’s Day (gasp!), let’s break it down. This legendary celebration was first introduced by Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) in the show Parks and Recreation in 2010. What started as a fictional holiday quickly became a real-life movement—because honestly, who doesn’t love an excuse to gather their besties for waffles, wine, and well-earned self-care?

Now, Galentine’s Day is an unofficial yet totally essential holiday where women celebrate each other in all the best ways—whether that’s brunching, spa days, shopping, or simply spending quality time together.

And here in Bluffton and Hilton Head, we know how to do Galentine’s Day right.
