and finally, an impressive 20-minute long fireworks show  reflects on the waters of guanabara bay, illuminating the museum and the hills around icaraí creating a truly beautiful scenario.   

nine thousand fireworks, distributed on three rafts across from icaraí beach, generate amazing color combinations and intricate designs while keeping the noise level down.

rarely foreign tourists participate in niterói's  réveillon, as the great majority of revelers here are locals residents, and families visiting from the region surrounding the city.

the niterói empresa de lazer e turismo - neltur, state agency in charge of the celebration, coordinates safety and entertainment for the night.
