An eventful night of partying

The night of 26 December – 2. Jólakvøld, or second Christmas night – has long been one of the biggest party nights of the year in the Faroes.

Although the streets of the country’s major cities were nowhere near as busy as usual on this night, a lot of partygoers had made their way to the streets of Tórshavn and Klaksvík.

Tórshavn’s bars and nightclubs adhered to the Covid recommendation and closed at 11pm, but the bars in Klaksvík remained open until the early hours of this morning.
