Rio de Janeiro celebrates Réveillon at midnight Brasília time with a vast beach party and fireworks over the Atlantic. This countdown ticks down to that Rio midnight, in your own timezone.
Rio de Janeiro New Year's Eve is on Friday, January 1, 2027, which is 201 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Copacabana Beach is the heart of it — around two million people, most dressed in white for peace and luck, watch fireworks launched from barges along the shoreline; Ipanema and Leblon beaches add their own crowds.
Revellers wear white and jump seven waves at midnight making wishes, and many leave white flowers and offerings in the sea for Iemanjá, the Afro-Brazilian goddess of the ocean.
