Every four years we get to celebrate Leap Day, a special extra day on this place we call Earth. This year Leap Day falls on a Saturday, so we’ve got even more reason to get down. Here’s what’s happening around town:
In case you missed it, the new Brewery District Trolley kicks off its first run this Sat. Feb. 29, 1-9 p.m. We’re talking free transportation between all your favorite peninsular breweries.
Celebrate the Leap Year at the Leap Day Show on Feb. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Music Farm, presented by 1770 Records and the College of Charleston’s Women in Music and Entertainment.
The Establishment will feature a $29 ribeye special from chef Matt Canter. For the quadrennial event, The Establishment will be pouring Stag’s Leap (wink wink) “Artemis” Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Cali.
