It was a Diwali Party for
the people of Brazil just like their Indian Counterparts. And the
event was all set to be tipped as the Largest new Year party with the inclusion of international stars DJ David Guetta Beth Caravalho for adding
their musical taste and making it a star studded affair. As many bright sparkling fireworks were lit at the Copacabana Beach making
the entire atmosphere look glow brightly. Ano Novo (New
Years) is second biggest celebration in Rio second only to
Carnival, and brings travellers and Cariocas (Rio natives) alike to the 4km stretch of sand
between Leme and the Copacabana Fort.
So it ushered the beginning of the
biggest party in the world.
Fireworks Do Brasil launched
21.600,00 pyrotechnics devices from 100mm. to 400 mm. (40 pieces), with a total
weight of 23.500,00 kg, which lighted the whole Copacabana beach (3600,00
meters) from 8 big oceanic barges.
The Company has 30 years of
experience in the European market and an immense passion for the pyrotechnics.
Two million people were on famous Copacabana beach
for the Reveillon 2008, witnessing a fireworks display that lasted 22 minutes. The
party was sponsored for Rio de Janeiro City and Fireworks
Do Brasil had
won the tender to display the show.
Masses of people turned out despite nighttime temperatures up to 35 degrees,
dancing on the sand before stages and filling promenades that had been blocked
to traffic.
Most revelers were donned in
white, which is considered the
lucky color to shower in prosperity for the coming year. For those looking to go the extra step,
some other colors have symbolism – red is good to attract romance, yellow is
for prosperity and green for good health. There will be four stages set up
along the beach, but two are where the main shows will be centered, the Palco
Sol (Sun Stage) across from the Copacabana Palace, and Palco Agua (Water Stage)
by Rua Santa Clara. While the official performances are scheduled to start at
7PM, surely the party will start earlier. The event was meticulously planned. Just
five minutes before midnight a light and laser show was organized which would
then be followed with a black out and then the public got to
witness the fireworks show launched from eleven barges.
The pyro-tech display was divided into ten themes: “Welcome, Golden Decade”,
“Natural Riches”, “Union of People”, “Celebration of Life,” “Sympathy Carioca”,
“Peace on Earth”, “Contagious Energy”, “The Future is Blue”, “Apotheosis of
Love” and “Watercolor of Brazil”.
Millions of Brazilians also end up celebrating in the country’s
financial capital Sau Paulo which particularly highlights on
prominent music shows.
The Biggest Fireworks show was set
by Fireworks Do Brasil at Rio De Janerio,Brazil on December 27,2011.
