“Sundance on George” is the name of this photo taken last month early Sunday morning with a wind chill of -26°C. This is the famous George Street which has numerous bars and clubs.
In the heart of downtown St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador,George Street is closed to traffic all evening and most of the business day (only being open from 8:00am until noon, to allow bars to restock their goods) to make way for pedestrian bar goers. It is understood by locals and those who choose its nightlife as a destination to have the most pubs per square foot of any street in North America, as well as having some of the latest bar goers in Canada. It is not rare to be heading downtown to a bar at 3, 4, 5 or even 6 in the morning. Although alcohol may not be served at this time, many bars in the downtown area are just starting to fill up. Nightlife can start very late in St.John's. The street is home to an annual Mardi Gras celebration in October. However, the largest celebration on George Street is the six-night George Street Festival which occurs in early August and typically concludes on the Tuesday night before the Royal St. John's Regatta, which is set for the first Wednesday in August.(taken from Wikipedia the free encyclopedia)
