It might be the shortest month in the calendar, but February is bursting with family fun, including celebrations of Groundhog Day, Lunar New Year, Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, President's Day, and Black History Month.

This month, Potomac Phil will let us know if we'll have an early spring or six more weeks of winter at Groundhog Day at Dupont Circle Park.

Free Lunar New Year events are abundant, including the DC Lunar New Year Parade and celebrations at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Museum of Asian Art. There are also plenty of ways to celebrate Black History Month, including at Black History Month Family Day in Sandy Spring.

Don't miss some Valentine's Day celebrations that are fun for the whole family, including a free Taylor Swift-themed Valentine's Day roller skating event in Germantown, MD, and a Valentine's Day celebration at the Library of Congress. There are even opportunities to celebrate George Washington's birthday, including a birthday celebration at Ferry Farm.

These are just a few of our favorite things to do in DC this February—we're adding more events to the DC Events Calendar every day.
