What is the name of the New Year's Eve festival held in Valparaíso, Chile, known for fireworks over its bay?

Valparaíso's New Year's Eve festival, known for fireworks over the bay, is called Año Nuevo en el Mar.

The Spanish name means “New Year at Sea.” Valparaíso is a Pacific port city built around a broad bay, and its geography gives spectators views of fireworks launched from points along the coast and offshore. The event is one of Chile's best-known New Year's celebrations and attracts visitors to the city's waterfront and hills.

Valparaíso's celebration is sometimes confused with the Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar, a major music festival held in nearby Viña del Mar but scheduled in February. Año Nuevo en el Mar is specifically a New Year's event, while the Viña del Mar festival is not a midnight New Year's celebration. Local programs, launch sites, and crowd arrangements can vary, but the bay and synchronized fireworks remain central features.
