We have an extra day this Leap Year … Let’s not waste it!
Posted By RichC on February 29, 2024
If you are a regular reader, then the answer is “yes” … I’ve been a bit distracted from posting regularly on MDB for the past couple of weeks. I promise to get better in March.
Part of my distraction has been enjoying down time with Brenda in Florida and with my daughter and her family (a wrap up post is coming). For now, I’m taking advantage of an extra final day in February this leap year!
What is leap day? Is 2024 a leap year?
2024 is a leap year, meaning Thursday, Feb. 29 is a once-in-every-four-year event.
Since leap years typically happen every four years (although there are some exceptions), our last leap days were in 2020 and 2016, and the next leap year will happen in 2028.
And since this is a day that doesn’t come around often, people are celebrating in different ways, with businesses offering special deals in commemoration and others finally celebrating their Feb. 29 birthday.
Here’s everything you need to know about leap day, including what is it, why it comes every four years and when it was created.
