Having themselves a VERY Merry Christmas! Revellers hit the town on Black Eye Friday as the festive season gets properly underway
With Christmas just around the corner, partygoers from all over the country flock to the city on ‘Black Eye Friday’ to celebrate the holidays.
The Friday before Christmas Eve has been nicknamed ‘Black Eye Friday’ due to the number of fights that break out in bars, pubs and clubs while emergency rooms are in full swing.
But revelers seemed in high spirits as they poured into city centers to drink, eat and dance the night away.
Partygoers donned their finest Christmas attire, with necklines almost as deep as the temperatures.
There were also plenty of fancy dress parties, with people dressed as Santa Claus, reindeer and some epic Christmas jumpers.
