Downtown Muncie was taken over by brightly-dressed Muncie Gras patrons Saturday night as people shuffled to and from the bars and booths lining the street.
Most of the people at Muncie Gras were wearing different colored beaded necklaces, masks and headpieces.
Other vendors sold beer, beads and various merchandise to the crowds.
Drana Mlakic, junior graphic design major and bartender at Doc's Music Hall, said that the night was crazier than she expected.
"It's my first Muncie Gras working, but it is way crazier than New Year's; [there's] a lot of fun, fun people," she said.
The music was blasting on one of the trolleys heading to Downtown Muncie. People had to yell to talk to one another, and once Queen's "Somebody to Love" came on, people of various inebriation levels tried to sing along.
Some neon-boa clad girls began sharing drinks on their way to the festivities, passing along a pink cup that contained "vodka that tasted like raspberries."
The lines were infamously long this year, some stretching a few blocks away from Walnut St.
