This day only comes around every four years which means we get another day in February to experience the beauty of Boston and time with friends. Here’s a guide for you to enjoy an extra 24 hours this 2024 in our amazing city. Happy Leap Day!

For an Extra Act of Self Care
An extra day means extra time to show yourself some love. 💕
- Release some endorphins with a peaceful practice of spring yoga.
- Enjoy a Leap Day Hike in nature with Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees.
For an Extra Drink
Make a toast with your friends on this extra day for an even better 2024! 🥂
- The colors for Leap Day are blue and yellow, so dress to impress and stop by Aeronaut for live music, good drinks, and even a surprise guest of Leap Day William too. If you’re looking to try a diverse set of hops and brews, head over to Lamplighter for a Hoppy Leap Day IPA Tasting.
- If you want to understand the magic behind making drinks and pairing them with meals, try your hand at a cheese and wine class, a wine-tasting course, or even a margarita mixing session.
For an Extra Bite
Indulge in good food and noms this February 29th! 🦞
- Enjoy some snackos and get a free cookie with a purchase of 6-pack or 12-pack at Insomnia Cookies. If your birthday lands on a Leap Day, show your I.D. for four free classic cookies and some party swag!
- An extra day of the year means enjoying the buttery goodness of the sea for an affordable price. Munch on 2 lobsters for $29 at Legal Sea Foods. Sit back and relax with friends and family with 29 oysters for $29 too; stop by Newbury St. at Atlantic Fish Co. or enjoy Boston Harbor views at Joe’s Waterfront. The fun starts at 2:29PM!
- If you want to treat yourself to a lavish dinner with this extra day, put on your finest clothes that make you confident and head to a Beefsteak and Bow Ties Dinner at High Street Place (aprons will be provided to keep those clothes clean!) or celebrate a day early at Abe and Louie’s for a Stag’s Leap Wine Dinner.
For an Extra Adventure
More time gives you a chance to take in fun experiences. 😄
- Make this last day of February movie-filled! Immerse yourself in the world of ‘Dune: Part 2’ in New England’s only IMAX Dome screen or stop by the Capitol Theatre to watch a movie premiere called ‘BONDS’ – a piece about the art of dance and its connection to the human experience.
- Rack up a new skill with Studio by Garden by learning how to basket weave and cross-stitch.
- Catch the final day of some Boston adventures like tubing at Harpoon’s Slopeslide or taking a stroll through the North End’s Tunnel of Love.
- Grab your kiddos and enjoy a Unicorn Party and frog-themed crafts at different BPL locations.
- Enjoy a fashion show featuring Boston’s own women’s sustainable clothing brand, KADA.
- Learn all about chocolate. Enough said.
- And be sure to enjoy free museums too! The Harvard Museum of Natural History will be hosting a special community event for the Year of the Dragon with hands-on artist workshops like Chinese paper cutting and silk watercolor painting, and take advantage of Harvard Art Museums at Night to celebrate Black History Month and the opening of a new exhibit.
