Dec. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, 22 of December 2010 --- New Year’s Eve is always one of the major events in the yearly calendar or Brazil’s “wonderful city” Rio de Janeiro, being second only to the world famous Carnival Celebration. Every year on the 31st of December, thousands of locals, Brazilians and visitors from all over the world travel to Rio to participate in the celebration on the moon-shaped Copacabana Beach beneath the Sugar Loaf and Corcovado Hill with the Christ the Redeemer Statue. ILS3 and the Discover.Travel Group’s specialized Brazil Travel Consultants are convinced that Open Air music shows with popular artists and the spectacular fireworks display at sea guarantee excellent entertainment for travelers and highly recommend spending New Years Eve in Rio de Janeiro.

The New Year’s Eve celebration for 2011 adds another truly unique highlight to the list of New Year attractions: The emblem of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is going to be presented to the public and international audience for the first time on December 31st, 2010, in a show of lights and colours that is going to thrill the entire planet. According to the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, “the emblem combines the attributes of the Brazilian people with the Olympic values, forming a symbol that expresses Brazilians’ harmonious diversity, their contagious energy and the exuberant nature of Brazil.” The scenario of the New Years Eve 2011 in Rio de Janeiro is beautiful and inspiring, and participating in this celebration together with Rio’s enthusiastic population will be a unique Brazil travel experience for any visitor.

The celebration, called “Reveillon” in Portuguese, will start at 6 pm on December 31st 2010, when the coast will light up as crowds gather on Copacabana beach wearing mostly white for peace, red for love or yellow for gold. DiscoverBrazil Travel Consultants explain that in many regions of Brazil, it is a tradition to place candles in the sand, offer lipstick, perfume and even jewelry to the Goddess of the Sea. On the stage on Copacabana Beach in Rio, the Brazilian samba musician Zeca Pagodinho, and the Axé singer Daniela Mercury from Salvador da Bahia in Northeastern Brazil are the main attractions. The percussion groups of Rio’s Samba Schools Unidas da Tijuca and Grande Rio, participants of the Samba Parades during Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, will also play on New Year’s Eve 2011. Additionally, there is a special Rock/Pop stage.
