Step out of your comfort zone and attend the Newbury Street Galentine's Day Stroll on Sunday, February 15, 2026 | 12–4PM | Newbury Street in Boston, MA If you’re feeling a little light on the Galentine’s side of things this year — craving connection when no friends are free — you are not alone. And more importantly, you are more than welcome. The In Full Force community is inviting you to step out just as you are and join us for the 1st Annual Newbury Street Galentine’s Day Stroll — whether you come with friends, with a valentine, or entirely on your own. This event is literally FOR YOU! This winter has been long. The cold, the snow, the shorter days — they have a way of quietly isolating even the most independent among us. Add Valentine’s Day to the mix, and it can stir feelings of longing for connection, friendship, and companionship that may feel just out of reach. That’s exactly why this afternoon exists. On Sunday, February 15, 2026, from 12–4 PM, one of Boston’s most iconic streets — Newbury Street — will come alive with friendship, fashion, warmth, and purpose. The Galentine’s Day Stroll is designed as a soft landing place: a welcoming, feel-good afternoon where women are gently matched with like-minded attendees to stroll, explore, sip, shop, and simply be together. No pressure. No awkwardness. No need to already “have a group.” Just an open invitation to step into connection on a mid February Sunday — and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. So, if you’ve been craving community … If you’ve been feeling a bit isolated … If you’ve been waiting for a sign to say yes to something uplifting … This is it.

We’ll meet you right where you are. 💗

Hi Everyone! I am excited to be part of IFF! What a wonderful way to bring like minded women together! I enjoyed every bit of raising my son and daughter who are now 29, and spending time together with them and my husband remains my favorite thing to do! However, I find myself wanting something just for me, to enrich my life in a new way and I feel like connecting with women in the same chapter of life is a beautiful way to start! Thank you Julie for creating this space for us and I look forward to meeting some of you in Stoneham next week! Here’s to new beginnings!
