Do You Get a Black Moon?
What is a Black Moon, and why does it happen in December?
New Year’s Eve is one of the largest global celebrations because it marks the last day of the year in the Gregorian calendar, December 31, before the New Year. Count down to the New Year no matter where you are in the world.
Is New Year's Eve (from 2pm) a Public Holiday?
This is a holiday for the public sector and government employees (ponto facultativo), so most non-essential government offices will be closed. Private sector offices and stores may have reduced hours.
Many people celebrate New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the year that ends and to welcome the New Year.
