Forget the romance – February 13th is all about celebrating your amazing gal pals! And this year, ditch the crowded restaurants and movie nights for a unique Galentine's Day adventure in Mississippi County. We're talking charming Main Street strolls, wine tastings, shopping, free photos and so much more! Here’s a quick roundup of a few of our favorite don’t-miss Galentine’s Day events:

Start your day with a shopping spree on Main Street in downtown Blytheville. On Saturday, Feb. 10, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the 223 Collective, along with Madison Trimm Photography, Goddess Medspa and Aesthetically Yours, are offering special Galentine’s Day deals and treats, including 20-minute express facials, permanent jewelry, free mini photography sessions, shopping and more.

Of course, you can always hit up the Staple Bar at The Louis in Wilson. Earlier this year, Arkansas Business called it the best boutique bar in Arkansas, and for good reason.
