That Extra Day
February 22, 2024
The shortest month is a little longer in 2024, thanks to leap year, the once-every-four-years phenomenon that adds a day to February. How how will you enjoy your extra day? Step out of your busy life and unlock your creativity by joining a Slow Stitching Circle at PathwaysARTS. Cook up some chicken and dumplings soup with Chef Chris Look at the Edgartown library. Pick up some acting and improv skills at Theater Fun for Adults at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse. Or just recover from a vigorous game of Millennial Pickleball the night before.
Check The Complete Martha’s Vineyard Calendar for a full list of activities and events to make most of your February. March will soon be roaring in.
