It happens just once every four years, so Leap Day, February 29th, 2024, will bring some special deals to the Charlotte area.
Some are for everyone and some are for just Leap Day Babies, those who can show proof that their birthdays are February 29th. They only get a birthday every four years, so they deserve the special deals!
Unless otherwise specified, these deals are just for Thursday, February 29th, 2024. More deals are still being added as they’re announced.
