The World Welcomes 2026: Fireworks, Music, and Smiles

The world has welcomed 2026 with enthusiasm and celebrations, starting with the Pacific nations. Kiribati and New Zealand were the first regions to celebrate the arrival of the new year with fireworks and music. In Sydney, preparations were overshadowed by the recent attack at Bondi Beach, resulting in a minute of silence for the victims before the start of the festivities. Despite the sadness, the city was illuminated with spectacular fireworks. Finally, Rio de Janeiro is preparing for a large celebration on Copacabana Beach, expecting around 2.5 million visitors.
