Many tourists decide to look towards Brazil to turn the clock. New Years celebrations are plentiful around the world, but for Rio, the festival is at the peak of the summer season and is ideal for many travelers to take advantage of. Firstly, the celebrations are typically the best in the Copacabana beach area where millions gather to share in the festivities. Next, in Rio, much like other countries around the world, the New Year provides an opportunity for citizens and the community as a whole to start anew, locals typically emphasize this by wearing all white threads, or new clothing which has never been worn before. This tradition is perfect for travelers eager to celebrate 2018 in their new duds.
