New Year's Eve in Rio
Leer en español | Ler em português New Year's ce lebrations in Rio include a traditional fireworks display at Copacana's beach so big that it can be seen by some other faraway neighbourhoods in the city, such as Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas , where a big Christmas tree with eletric lights is set up each year, and Gloria . Last time I celebrated the New Year's arrival was in 2021, at Gloria . The countdown to midnight saw a modest firewoks display. Many people walked by sidewalk alongside Gloria 's beach shore that goes on until to the neighbourhoods of Flamengo , Botafogo , Copacabana , Ipanema , etc. Street vendors and food carts sell fast food, beer, soda and alcoholic drinks. At Copacabana , where the big party is located, a live concert usually takes place soon after the fireworks and goes on until dawn, presenting various national artists and bands. Popular New Year's traditions include rituals such as entering the sea and jumping seven waves
