New Year's Eve(Réveillon) em 🇺🇸 Estados Unidos

New Year's Eve in the United States is synonymous with the Times Square Ball Drop in New York City. Since 1907, a glittering ball has descended from a flagpole atop One Times Square at midnight, watched by roughly a million people crammed into the surrounding blocks and tens of millions more on television. Revellers endure hours of cold, with no bathroom access, to secure their spots.

Across the country, celebrations range from black-tie galas in major cities to house parties in suburbs and rural areas. Las Vegas, Nashville, and Miami host massive outdoor concerts and fireworks. Chicago's Navy Pier, Seattle's Space Needle, and San Francisco's Embarcadero all stage their own iconic countdowns.

The evening meal often includes hors d'oeuvres, shrimp cocktail, champagne (or sparkling wine), and finger foods meant for grazing throughout the evening. Drinking champagne at midnight and singing Auld Lang Syne are nearly universal traditions, even if few Americans know the full lyrics beyond the first verse.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, now hosted by Ryan Seacrest, has been a television institution since 1972. The broadcast features performances from top artists and covers celebrations across multiple time zones, from Eastern to Pacific, stretching the party across five hours of prime-time television.

O último dia do ano no calendário gregoriano, celebrado em todo o mundo com festas de contagem regressiva, fogos de artifício e brindes à meia-noite para dar as boas-vindas ao novo ano.
