What is the name of Rio de Janeiro's beach where Brazil's largest New Year's Eve party is held?

Copacabana Beach is the Rio de Janeiro beach where Brazil's largest New Year's Eve party is held.

The celebration, commonly called Réveillon de Copacabana, draws huge crowds along the shoreline for concerts, ceremonies, and fireworks over the Atlantic Ocean. The beach's broad crescent and famous promenade make it an unusually large public stage for the midnight celebration.

Many participants wear white, a custom associated with peace, renewal, and offerings to Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions. Some people also go into the sea and jump over seven waves, making wishes as part of a popular coastal ritual.

Fireworks are launched from barges offshore, rather than only from the sand. The event has become one of Brazil's most internationally recognized New Year's celebrations. Attendance figures vary by year and source, so the lasting fact is the location and its national cultural importance, not one fixed crowd estimate.
