As the number of people infected spikes across Europe, many nations have introduced strict measures to curb the disease. In Germany and France, lockdowns have returned, while the UK has introduced a three-tier restriction system. But these precautions don’t mean people are just sitting at home everywhere - in some places, nightlife is still on!

Numerous events are being held across Europe as people try to keep up their high spirits and socialise despite the COVID pandemic - albeit without violating the restrictions, of course! Sputnik has collected the best photos showing people having fun despite the odds and living normal lives with the hope of a brighter future.
