Galentine's night at the Midland!
Sip, Shop, and Screen!
~ Ladies, Clear Your Calendar~
February 13th is YOUR NighT
Grab your besties, your work wives, your mom, your sister-in-law who actually gets you – because The Midland Theatre is throwing the ultimate Galentine's celebration! We're talking shopping, sipping, and the most iconic mother-daughter body swap comedy ever filmed.
Single? Fabulous. Taken? Still fabulous. It's complicated? Honey, we don't judge – just bring your credit card and your laugh. Start the night browsing local vendors and treating yourself (because who needs roses when you have retail therapy?), enjoy a cocktail or two at our historic bar, then settle into our plush velvet seats for the 2003 Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis classic that made us all appreciate our mothers... eventually.
This isn't just movie night – it's an experience in Newark's most glamorous living room. Because after 97 years, we know how to throw a party for the ladies who make this town sparkle.
Evening Details
How Our Sip & Shop Works: The Perfect Galentine's Formula | Vendors announced soon! (Trust us, you'll want to bring your wallet.)
5:30 - 7:00 PM: The Pre-Show Party
Here's the tea, ladies: Doors open at 5:30 and our historic lobby transforms into your favorite kind of marketplace – the kind with cocktails! Grab a glass of wine, a craft cocktail, or a mocktail (because designated drivers and non-drinkers deserve fancy drinks too), and get ready to support the fierce female entrepreneurs who make our community sparkle.
Wander through our curated vendor booths featuring the best women-owned and women-run businesses Newark has to offer. We're talking jewelry that makes you feel like a goddess, skincare that actually works, accessories that spark joy, and those perfect little somethings you didn't know you needed. Shop guilt-free – you're literally supporting your local girl bosses!
7:00 PM: Take Your Seats for the Main Event
When it's showtime, bring your goodies (and your drink – yes, really!) into our gorgeous 1,200-seat theater for Freaky Friday on the big screen. Settle into those plush velvet seats with your squad and prepare for 97 minutes of mother-daughter chaos that'll have you laugh-crying into your rosé.
The Vibe? Radically Inclusive.
College students on a budget? Come through. Empty nesters ready to party? We've been waiting for you. New moms who haven't been out in months? This is your night. Singles, couples, throuples, friend groups, work crews, book clubs, your kid's teacher you actually like – EVERYONE is welcome at this party. Rock up in your yoga pants or your date night dress – The Midland doesn't do dress codes, honey.
Because Galentine's isn't about your relationship status. It's about celebrating the women who get you through life – and having a fabulous Thursday night in Newark's most beautiful venue.
