The fireworks display once again lit up the sky in Copacabana at the turn of the year. For 16 minutes, the show that was suspended at the entrance of 2021 was received with joy and hope for a better year in 2022. The measures taken by the City of Rio de Janeiro to avoid agglomerations paid off and the audience was smaller than in the years without a pandemic , when the New Year’s Eve world famous gathered up to 3 million people.
Measures such as the barrier to entry of vehicles at various accesses to the neighborhood after 7:00 pm, the suspension of the Metro operation at 8:00 pm, prohibition of parking on the waterfront and the lack of extra buses to Copacabana, in addition to the diversion of regular lines, contributed to the decrease in the audience, but that was not all. Light rain that fell during the day and night and the installation of 10 more fireworks in other parts of the city also helped. The city’s intention to install these other fireworks show points in other neighborhoods was to avoid the public’s displacement to Copacabana.
Fires
At sea, the nearly 24,000 fire bombs installed on the ten rafts along the shore brought emotion to the public, who could also follow it in images from televisions and the city hall. The start of the fireworks show was with a manifesto to life recorded with singer Teresa Cristina.
Music
Also to avoid crowding, the city decided that this New Year’s Eve there would be no stage shows on the Copacabana shore. The audience, however, was not left without music. 25 sound towers were installed at various points on the beach, with the transmission of DJ MAM’s programming from 8 pm onwards, which could also be seen on the city’s social networks.
