Grab a gal pal and check out these Galentine’s Day events in Middle Georgia

The lovely Leslie Knope from the popular TV series “Parks and Recreation” created Galentine’s Day, which involves “ladies celebrating ladies.”

The holiday takes place the day before Valentine’s Day, and women celebrate each other in a number of ways.

“It’s only the best day of the year,” Knope said in the episode. “It’s like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus Frittatas.”

So grab your gal pals and check out a few options to celebrate the holiday in Middle Georgia.
