This world-renowned event brings together millions of people on Copacabana Beach every year.
The New Year’s Eve in Rio, especially at Copacabana Beach, is the largest in Brazil. The party is free and is globally known for the large concentration of people on the sand, boardwalk, and streets, as well as for its famous and stunning fireworks.
The fun is guaranteed with performances by national and international singers, not to mention the presentations by various samba schools. Three stages are set up on the beach, where artists from different musical genres perform. Those who cannot get close to the stages can watch the shows on large screens placed along the waterfront.
If you don’t enjoy large crowds, you can celebrate New Year’s Eve at one of the many clubs in the city. There is a wide variety of parties happening in different neighborhoods. Although there is an entrance fee, these parties feature private security and offer open bar and food.
