将去 is like "I'm going to go". But when you use "将在", here "将" means "be going to" and "在" means " 'in'  February "

<p>的朋友 doesn't make sense, should be 我的朋友, 我的 = my.</p>

<p>我与我的朋友在二月份去中国 is OK, though 我和我的朋友二月份去中国/二月份我和我的朋友去中国 would be more natural, and the 我的 can also be ommitted.</p>

If I dont need to use 在, how to I indicate that Im going to go somewhere.. like Im planning on it, or that Im definitely doing it? Hui? 会
在 is used with location and when indicating you're currently doing something, correct?

@KevinPrice, 在二月 in Chinese sounds more like that it already passed, not quite likely in the future. you could put 我二月份要和（几个）朋友去中国。

so here the use of 我要和朋友  is more translated to im going with friends and is more colloquial than saying 我要与朋友?? 

Thanks for all the feedback!

我要和朋友 is more casual way to say it.

<translation>
Is e.g. 我与的朋友在二月份去中国 a colloquial way to say "I'm going to China with my friends in Feburary"?

1. First, 的 is not needed and doesn't make sense. Omit it altogether (or make it 我的朋友).
2. Second, 在 is to express what is happening right now. It is close to "is doing ~" in English (e.g. 我在看书。). If you talk about what will happen in the future, 要 should be the word for it. So replace 在 with 要.

So, the one answer should be:

> 我二月份要与朋友去中国。

Actually, both "我与的朋友在二月份去中国" and "我二月份与的朋友在去中国" are not correct.

If you emphasize "I am going to", you can use

> "我将在二月与我的朋友去中国"

If you emphasize "in February", you can use

> "二月份我将与我的朋友去中国"

If you emphasize "with my friends", you can use

> "我将与我的朋友在二月时去中国"

的朋友 doesn't make sense, should be 我的朋友, 我的 = my.

我与我的朋友在二月份去中国 is OK, though 我和我的朋友二月份去中国/二月份我和我的朋友去中国 would be more natural, and the 我的 can also be ommitted.

我二月份与我的朋友在去中国 is not understandable.
