Valentine's Day, as if! This year, gather all your gal pals, jump in the car, and drive to Ocean City, Maryland on February 13 for a celebration you won't forget!
What is Galentine's Day, you ask? Well, according to Urban Dictionary, it's a day to celebrate your love for all Queens in your life, whether gleefully single, happily coupled, or somewhere in between. It’s one day, dedicated to showering your closest lady friends with love and attention, recognizing the importance of friendship.
I mean, what beats a day filled with laughing with your girlfriends, eating fluffy frittatas, and doing activities we love at the beach?
While the actual date for Galentine’s Day is February 13th, we think it’s just fine to celebrate any time! Whether you decide to spend an entire day or just an evening out, here are some fun ideas we think you’ll love while in town.

It’s the best of both worlds: exercise and eating! Start your day peddling the boards and exploring the city on an Ocean City bike rental from Bike World, located along the boardwalk on Caroline Street, 1st Street, 8th Street, and 18th Street. Afterward treat yourself to Sunday Brunch at 32 Palm, located in the Hilton Suites Hotel on 32nd Street.
Ever wondered how spirits are really made – from beginning to end? Peel back the curtain and see the inner workings of a true grain-to-glass distillery situated in one of the largest entertainment resorts in the U.S. Seacrets Distilling Company put Ocean City, MD on the map as the first distillery to be built in Worcester County since the end of Prohibition in 1933.

Grab the gals, it's time for Menopause The Musical®, on April 13 in the Performing Arts Center, at the Ocean City Convention Center. Inspired by a hot flash and a bottle of wine, Menopause The Musical® was created as a celebration of women who find themselves at any stage of “The Change.” The laughter-filled 90-minute production gets audience members out of their seats and singing along to parodies from classic pop songs of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s.
