Cheat Sheet: February 2025

The must-attend events for the shortest month of the year curated by the Aa team.

Dear Aa Readers,

Congrats—you’ve officially survived the trial month that is January. The warm-up is over. February is here, and with it, the real start of the year. Time to commit, lean in, and see where 2025 takes you.

The city is picking up pace. Nights stretch longer, new openings stack up, and spontaneity is back on the agenda. The Aa Cheat Sheet is here to keep you one step ahead—exhibitions, parties, and everything worth showing up for, filtered down to the essentials. Direct links, no detours.

P.S. Mondays, as always, are for our weekly PSAs—curated day-to-night plans to keep things interesting.

Scroll for the full February lineup (including ticket links). See you out there.

Xx,
Aa
