\n\t\u201cMillions of people, coming from different parts of Brazil and the world, took part in the celebration that turned Rio\u2019s waterfront into a unique spectacle of music, culture, lights and fireworks,\u201d said a representative of the organization.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor the arrival of 2026, the Copacabana stage will host exclusive performances \u2014 including Belo with Alcione, and Gilberto Gil with Ney Matogrosso.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI\u2019d like to thank Guinness for the tribute. Every time this story about the number of people at Copacabana\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve comes out, there\u2019s a lot of questioning. It\u2019s obvious that even if it weren\u2019t true, the celebration itself \u2014 the number of stages \u2014 would already be justified by the joy of the event,\u201d the mayor told Globo in an interview.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThere is no place in the world that holds public-space parties with the consistency Rio does and with so many people. There isn\u2019t. I challenge anyone to point out a city anywhere in the world that does what we do. There isn\u2019t one in Brazil or anywhere else. It only happens in Rio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn addition to Copacabana, Rio\u2019s 2026 New Year\u2019s Eve celebration will feature stages in 10 other regions of the city.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe title was granted to the event after analysis and validation of the criteria established by Guinness World Records, considering the record number of participants, the scale of the artistic programming, the territorial extent of the event and its cultural relevance,\u201d Guinness World Records announced in a press release.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tSustainability\t<\/h2>\n
\n\tRio\u2019s 2026 New Year\u2019s Eve celebration also marks an advance in visual spectacle and a commitment to sustainability. The fireworks show will feature a special soundtrack and will be complemented by a drone ballet \u2014 the largest in Brazil \u2014 paying tribute to Rio.<\/p>\n
\n\tAt the same time, the event will adopt a series of ESG (environment, social and governance) practices, such as waste management, carbon offsetting and accessibility, aiming to become a \u201csustainable turning of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
