Including the other beaches around 5 million people come out celebrate New Years and take part in the greatest demonstration of peace the world has ever seen.

Cariocas (people from Rio) traditionally wear white on New Year's Eve; it's the color of peace and the color worn by devotees of Candomblé ( Afro-Brazilian religion) to honor Yemanjá.. Offering a white flower to Yemanjá, the goddess of the seas, is also a part of the ritual. The exquisite fireworks festival starts at midnight, lasting almost a half hour. Another great thing about New Year's Eve in Rio is that it is the middle of summer (avg. temperatures are about 90 degrees F).

You don't have to worry about walking around and looking for the best spot because we have already organized everything for you. Although Copacabana is an ideal location to watch the fireworks, it can be unsafe because of the amount of people. We provide you with a safer alternative to being on the beach by yourself.
