Weather

In Rio, summer holidays are considered to begin around Christmas time and last through the end of Carnaval (date varies but generally late February). During this period, Rio runs at a very relaxed pace. Between just before Christmas and lasting through the first week of January, most businesses are closed for the holidays. In Rio, New Years Eve is a big event. Copacabana beach is the location of one of the world's most famous parties and fireworks displays. On Copacabana beach alone, it is customary to see several million revellers gather for this famous event. However, there are also other festivities on other beaches such as the Ipanema beach at midnight.

White tradition

The most visible tradition on New Year’s Eve is to wear an outfit that is completely white – this symbolizes peace and renewal, a certain kind of hope that the New Year will be better than the one that has just passed.
