Ready to Start 2028 Somewhere Unforgettable?
RING IN THE NEW YEAR IN RIO
Rio de Janeiro knows how to celebrate. But beyond the energy of New Year’s Eve, this is a city filled with incredible views, rich culture, beautiful beaches, music, food, and experiences that deserve time to be enjoyed.
With Midnight in Rio, we’re giving you more than a countdown. Explore the icons that make Rio unforgettable, experience the city from a different perspective during a boat party or Afro-Brazilian experience, and then come together for dinner before joining the legendary New Year’s Eve celebration at Copacabana Beach.
And because the best trips leave room to breathe, New Year’s Day is intentionally slower. We’ll gather for Brunch & Breathe—a chance to relax, reconnect, and ease into 2028 before heading home the following day.
At Black & Traveled, we’ll handle the details so you can focus on experiencing Rio, celebrating the moment, and starting the new year with a story worth telling.
