There is Valentine's Day and then there is Galentine's Day — a holiday created by TV sitcom Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) in 2010, to celebrate female empowerment and friendship. Suffice it to say that Valentine's Day has never been the same.

Galentine's can mean anything from a dinner to a drag brunch a special edition of girls' night out. It can take place the day before, the day after, or even right on February 14.

Fortunately, Fort Worth restaurants, bars, and even museums, are ready with Galentine's offerings. (For a list of traditional Valentine's Day events, click here.)
