Best Leap Year Activities & Specials In Los Angeles
Ah, Leap Day. That weird quadrennial oddity that never looks quite right on the calendar. If we didn't throw in an extra day into the mix every four years, we'd eventually be skiing in July, but that still doesn't save it from being an odd duck. As odd as Leap Day is, it does bring with it an extra day to do some fun stuff. As the following list shows, these are some of best things you can do on February 29th to focus in on the rarity of the day, while other activities merely happen because it's another day on the calendar. Either way, they are excuses to get out of your house and explore Southern California in all its glory.
