Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — So the vacation season is ending and you haven't seen your BFF for a while, then make plans for tonight. It is National Girls Night Out Day and a good reason to get your group together. Okay, we know that locals practice this once or twice a week, but since it's officially a "national day" then you can round up the entire gang.

National Girls’ Night encourages women to gather with their best girlfriends for a night in to relax, recharge, and foster meaningful connections. Of course, there are many ways to celebrate a Girls’ Night. Whether you stay in or go out, the night invites women to reconnect and celebrate life together. Choose to cook together or seek out your favorite restaurant. Enjoy a book club together or a movie night. Visit a beachfront bar with your favorite band. The celebration is all about women disconnecting from the stresses of everyday life. What’s better than engaging with besties for an evening of social self-care?
