With the brilliant, vibrant, and exotic Brazilian culture has to offer, you would expect nothing less than the celebrations of the new year. Brazilians are ready to party all night long until the early morning of January 1st with family and friends on the sandy beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Traditions spanning over 70 plus years, the Brazilians take pride in celebrating a new year to prosper wealth, good health, peace, and love.  


Ano novo, vida nova!

If you happen to be in Brazil for the new year, wear white. This tradition dates back to when people would wear white during rituals to seek spiritual purifications.


Want to increase your luck even more? Buy a new pair of brightly colored underwear to bring certain attributes you want to have in the new year. Red brings love; Yellow rings money; Green brings good health

Eat lentils for positive energy. Eat pomegranate seeds for good luck. Stay away from turkey, crab, and poultry unless you want a year full of bad luck.


Feeling lucky? Take pomegranate seeds in a small piece of wrapping paper and put them in your wallet for more success in the new year!
