Our favorite February holiday is right around the corner, and we’re not talking about the one that falls on the 14th. Enter Galentine’s Day, an unofficial holiday about friendship and women celebrating women. It has become a mainstream celebration all thanks to a Parks and Recreation episode in 2010 when Amy Poehler’s character introduces this brilliant tradition to the world. In her character’s words, “every February 13th, 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.” Now, Galentine’s Day is celebrated in all different kinds of ways. Read on for a full list of ways to spend Galentine’s Day this year in Hoboken and Jersey City — with events galore.

Disclaimer: We will be updating this list as more events pop up. If you have an event you’d like to have listed, please email arielle@hobokengirl.com.
