Leap day, February 29, comes around every four years and was first introduced by Julius Caesar over 2,000 years ago. It is a day filled with folklore, superstitions and traditions, old and new.
To pay homage, a bunch of restaurants and a few other places are giving away free or discounted food, refreshments and overnight stays. Some deals are reserved for those special people with leap day birthdays, known as "Leaplings," but most are available to anyone.
Here are a few of the best leap day 2024 deals we found to end the month on a high note.
