Chaos as huge party flotilla takes over sandbar as tens of thousands descend on ... trends now
Boats full of partygoers descended upon a popular Florida destination for the annual 'Mayhem at Lake George' party.
Hundreds of revelers gathered near the Juniper Sandbar on Lake George on Saturday.
Bikini-clad women were spotted all over the water, floating on inflatable rafts and dancing on boats.
Police ramped up their presence this year after a massive brawl in 2022 saw five people get arrested and one person get a severe head injury.
