What is the name of the midnight New Year's Eve celebration at Valparaíso's port in Chile?

Valparaíso's midnight New Year's Eve celebration is commonly called Año Nuevo en el Mar.

The Spanish name translates as “New Year at Sea” and refers to the major fireworks celebration staged over the bay of Valparaíso, Chile. The event is viewed from the city's hills, waterfront, and neighboring coastal areas, with fireworks launched from barges or other points across the bay.

The celebration is closely associated with Valparaíso's port identity and attracts large crowds from around Chile. Nearby Viña del Mar may also hold New Year's events, but Año Nuevo en el Mar specifically identifies the famous Valparaíso coastal spectacle.

The name is sometimes rendered with different capitalization or shortened in English-language reporting. It should not be confused with Chile's harvest festivals or the June bonfires associated with the feast of Saint John, which occur at different times of year.
