NYE celebrations
Bourbon Street, one of the hottest jazz clubs in São Paulo, is the ideal place for jazz and blues and salsa music performances. It has a unique piano-shaped bar that serves up great cocktails. The atmosphere of the bar is fantastic. Another fun place for NYE time you should check out is Bar Brahma, one of the oldest bars in São Paulo.
You will enjoy there the lively Brazilian music and happy patrons dancing and singing greatest way into the New Year. Additional dancing venues are the Opium Solarium and D’Edge.
Avenida Paulista opens its streets on NYE midnight to pedestrians and block off all cars. So that they can play host around 2 million guests who come to enjoy live music and NYE fireworks displays. The activities are free for the most parts. Every year the area goes up with a new theme for their New Years Eve activities. And NYE should have a special theme ahead.
There are many traditional customs of Sao Paulo that you should consider on New Years Eve celebrations:
- Jumping 7 waves at the beach after midnight to honor Iemanjá, the goddess of the waters, and to bring good vibrations. And it’s just fun.
- Wearing (new) underwear, in which the color defines your biggest desires for the following year.
- Eating 12 grapes at midnight, one representing each of the following months, and wishing for a prosperous and healthy year.
- Wear white and drink champagne!
- Hope 3 times on your right foot with your glass of champagne in hand to start the year on the right foot. This sounds pretty ridiculous, but it does happen. At some parties some people might think you’re just weird though
- Do not eat chicken/turkey, because they kick their legs back to walk – meaning a backwards year ahead and do eat pork, lentils, pomegranate.
