LIVE | Rio de Janeiro ushered in the Christmas season on Sunday (November 30) with the unveiling of an 80-meter-high Christmas tree on Botafogo beach, drawing thousands of spectators who applauded as the towering structure lit up the night sky.
The tree, equivalent in height to a 30-story building, features 2.3 million LED lights that create dazzling color combinations and patterns. Beyond traditional Christmas greens and reds, the display depicts Rio’s natural beauty, including representations of the sun and sea.
The lighting ceremony drew a large crowd who gathered at the beach to witness the light show and aquatic performance marking the official start of Rio’s holiday season.
Every half hour, audiences can watch a water ballet performance that combines lights, special effects, and movements synchronized with the ocean waters.
The massive structure has become the city’s newest Christmas attraction, positioned prominently on Guanabara Bay.
