PITTSFIELD, Mass. — While some may be busy preparing turkeys and sides for Thursday's big feast, others may want to go out on the town and connect with old friends the night before.

The night before Thanksgiving, has become a popular bar night for adults largely because people are home for the holiday.

Last year, BeerBoard reported an more than 62 percent rise in on-premise alcohol sales the night before Thanksgiving compared to the previous Wednesday.

Urban Dictionary describes the unofficial holiday as "one of the biggest party nights of the year since this is the start of Thanksgiving weekend and most people are home for the holidays at this time."

Berkshire County is no exception, with multiple events on Wednesday night at bars and eateries and a lot of live music. For those who are willing to cross a state border, there are also a few events happening just outside of the county.

iBerkshires reminds those going out on Thanksgiving Eve to drink responsibly and have a happy holiday.
