Rio de Janeiro is more than just Brazil's postcard image; the city is also a stage for the world. A capital of major events, Rio has hosted global gatherings across various sectors and continues to be a benchmark in organizing large local celebrations, such as the New Year's Eve celebrations in Copacabana and the Rio Carnival, which attract thousands of tourists annually. Since 2024, the city has also gained prominence with "Todo Mundo no Rio" (Everyone in Rio), an initiative that promotes free mega-shows of international music on Copacabana Beach.
