Let's start with the fact that we are one of the few countries that actually have the habit to celebrate the new year with so much excitement and animation, but before that the party was much simpler. Fireworks in Copacabana new year 2017/2018 In the early years 70, the new year was celebrated in Copacabana by groups of umbanda, where dressed in white would the sea salute Yemanja. My mother, former inhabitant of Copa, He said it comes from long before the years 70. She said she recalls that since moving to Copacabana umbanda groups celebrate at the beach. Also that in celebration of the fourth centenary of the city (1965), then-Mayor Carlos Lacerda sent air force planes to launch silver paper with the symbol of the 4th centenary to create a large silver rain, starting the celebrations of the anniversary of the city, had no fires. The symbol that very rarely can still be found stamped in Portuguese by pebbles city was developed by the great designer, Aloisio Sergio Barbosa de Magalhães. that cloud of smoke that forms after a burn time The tradition of fireworks in Copacabana has troubled origins. Researched enough to write the post and found some alleged origins. The options are as follows: The famous Méridien ( that has already been Windsor, now is Hilton and we continue to call for Meridien ) Hotel at the end of Copacabana / beginning of the Rudder, started in the years 80 the traditional fireworks display your. This burn was different, It wasn't the Fireworks bursting in the sky, but a huge golden waterfall coming down in front of your 39 floors facing the beach.

I don't remember that have been repeated in other years. Already in 1987 the headline of the newspaper says new year's Eve was the most popular party joining River 2 millions of people on the beach and 6 fires around the sand points. Obviously one of the most played was in the vicinity of the Méridien, to observe the cascade.
