FIREWORKS IN BRAZIL

 The fireworks naturally start at midnight, from the ships that are anchored in the port of Copacabana. They last about 20 minutes, and they are a great show in themselves, since the organizers seem to outdo themselves every year.

While Christmas is seen as a family party in Brazil, New Year's Eve is when people get together with their friends to have fun. It is very common for groups of friends to rent a big house somewhere nice to celebrate the new year together. Favorite destinations are anywhere on the coast, where people usually go to the beach around midnight to watch the fireworks.

Although people like to dress up and buy new clothes, New Year's celebrations in Brazil are usually very informal, with Brazilians in their flip flops, beachwear, and light clothing. Traditions are very important to Brazilians at this time of year. It may seem like there are a lot of things to do and go on.
