Join us for a joyful evening celebrating love, friendship, and the arts — Galentine’s style!
Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this is your night to dance, laugh, connect, and enjoy good company in a beautiful, welcoming space. And while it’s called Galentine’s, it’s definitely not just for the gals — some of our best gal pals are fellas.
✨ What to Expect:
• Extended cocktail hour energy 🍸
• DJ Karim spinning feel-good tunes all evening 🎧
• Cash bar with Mojos’ signature craft cocktails 🍹
• Light bites and sweet surprises 🧁
• Door prizes & wig-themed fun (yes, some guests are showing up in matching wigs — but no pressure!) 🎁
• Artful vibes in the gorgeous Brick Gallery 🎨
💖 Love isn’t just for couples. It’s for friends who show up. For strangers who become chosen family. For music and movement and sharing a little joy. At this celebration, we believe love grows when it’s shared — no matter who you are or how you love.
🎟 Free and open to all ages

Come as you are — fabulous, fierce, or fresh from work. No date required. Just bring yourself.
✨ Wig-Wearing? Here’s the Vibe:
Wearing a wig to XOXO isn’t required — but it’s definitely encouraged for anyone looking to add a little sparkle to their night.
There’s a fun trend among groups of women (and a few bold men!) going out to brunch or happy hour in matching wigs — just for the joy of it. Wigs let you feel like a slightly different version of yourself for the night — a little bolder, a little goofier, a little more fabulous.
Whether you show up in hot pink curls with your best friends, toss on a fun bob just for laughs, or come completely wig-free — it’s all about letting go and celebrating. No pressure. Just play.
