Galentine’s Day is almost here!

Galentine’s Day is celebrated as a day for “ladies celebrating ladies”. Held the day before Valentine’s Day (February 13), Galentine’s day is a girl’s day for showing the love you have for your lady friends, whether they are single or not.

We thought it would be fun to bring you a list of our top spots to get together with your lady friends! No matter what you are into, everyone will love the entertainment on this list! Don’t worry guys, this can also double as Valentine’s Day dates, or date night too—we won’t tell!

To make it easy, we have listed the shopping center and city/state next to the business for location purposes.
