February 29, also known as the leap day of the Gregorian calendar, is a date that occurs in most years that are divisible by 4, such as 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. Years containing a leap day are called leap years.
February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in such a year, with 306 days remaining until the end of the year.
In the Chinese calendar, this day will only occur in years of the monkey, dragon, and rat.
