Tibb’s Eve, also known as Tip’s Eve, Tipp’s Eve, or Tipsy Eve, is observed in Newfoundland and Labrador every December 23. This celebration marks the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season, where it is customary for adults to enjoy a couple of drinks with friends, often leading to a festive atmosphere. The tradition of drinking on this day emerged in the mid-20th century as a way for residents, who typically abstained from alcohol during Advent, to indulge two days before Christmas. The name "Tibb’s Eve" is believed to have several origins, including a reference to a character from 17th-century English plays or a euphemism for "never," reflecting the day's unique nature. Bars and pubs often host live music events on this night, attracting locals who gather to celebrate before the holiday festivities.
