With Christmas just around the corner, revelers from across the country flock to the city on ‘Black Eye Friday’ to celebrate the festive season.
The Friday before Christmas Eve has earned the nickname ‘Black Eye Friday’ due to the number of fights that break out in bars, pubs and clubs, with Emergency Departments at full capacity.
But revelers seemed in good spirits as they flooded into city centers to drink, eat and dance the night away.
Partygoers dressed in their Christmas best, with necklines almost as plunging as the temperatures.
The costumes were also in full swing, with people dressed as Santa Claus, reindeer and some epic Christmas jumpers.
