People usually celebrated by giving each other presents, singing songs, drink and eat heavily, then party through the night.
Many clubs opened this time of year to let the people celebrate in masses. In New Athens, it was a bit more reserved.
People spent this day with their families, but there were also activities around the city.
All the Amphitheaters would stay open during the night. There were a bunch of plays, food and drinks served, and other fun activities like dances and amateur acting.
Some people preferred the open air, though. Many people celebrated in parks and squares, where they could let out all their yearly frustrations by partying.
