It was an ancient fertility ritual, in which Roman youths ran around the forum, nude, brandishing strips of uncured goat hide (I'm not making this up). It was celebrated on Feb 14 or 15. Young women would either run away from the youths, or, if they wanted to get pregnant, allow themselves to be lightly tapped with the leather thongs. It's mentioned in Shakespeare, because according to ancient sources, it was during the Lupercalia that Marc Anthony thrice offered Caesar the Crown (of the even then ancient Alban Kings, the rulers of the Latin people before Romulus), and was three times refused.
