12 days of México

#7 New Year's Eve

"If you are looking for the biggest Mexico New Years celebration, it will be found in Mexico City. From Zocalo, the city's main square, the route to the Palacio de Bellas Artes will be closed down, as will part of the Paseo de la Reforma Boulevard. In the afternoon, music will begin to fill the air as bands play on the various stages set up along this route. Hordes of people will be out to enjoy the festivities, most likely with a drink in hand, awaiting the excitement of midnight. After a long fireworks session, the party continues, and it doesn't stop until well into the early morning hours. Especially along the Paseo de la Reforma, the atmosphere is carnival-like. In addition to the energy that the bands bring, various dancers and floats make their way about this stretch, making you wonder if you were somehow transported to New Years in Rio De Janiero without your knowing it."

We will report back later with video and pictures that will have hopefully captured it all.
