Companies across Sacramento are set to offer a variety of deals — from free passport photos to discounted gas — to celebrate a day that doesn’t come around often.

A leap year takes place typically every four years when an extra day (Feb. 29) is added to the calendar, making the year a total of 366 days.

This year, Leap Day lands on Thursday and companies are offering freebies and discounts you probably won’t see again until the next leap year in 2028.

Here’s the list:
