Reveillon (New Year’s Eve) in Copacabana
Copacabana Beach hosts one of the world’s biggest New Year’s Eve parties, drawing millions of people.
Participants wear white as a tradition, believing it brings prosperity and peace, and sometimes wear colored underwear for specific desires like green for health or yellow for money.
The highlight of the night is the spectacular fireworks display over the beach, which lasts for about 15-20 minutes after the midnight countdown.
Several large stages are set up along the beach, featuring performances by famous Brazilian artists.
People make offerings to the sea goddess Yemanjá by throwing flowers and other gifts into the sea, seeking her blessings for the new year.
After the fireworks, the celebration continues with music at beach kiosks and in nearby clubs until sunrise.
