Only people who have spent New Year's Eve in Rio can understand why is the second most important event on the city's calendar. Nowhere else in the world could white-clad crowds of two million people gather in a setting as breathtaking as Copacabana beach, honoring the departing year and greeting the twelve months that lie ahead in total harmony, peace and safety.
The velvety summer sky is the backdrop to one of the world's most spectacular fireworks display. On the sand, whit-robed believers light thousands of flickering candles and toss flowers as offerings to Iemanjá, queen of waters, all to an irrestible Brazilian beat. December 31 at midnight on Copacabana Beach is a magical moment every year. Thrilling, unforgettable and incomparable, it truly reflects all the faces of Rio.
