Families come together for a traditional New Year’s feast, known as “osechi-ryori.” In China, the Lunar New Year is a grand celebration, but many cities still celebrate the arrival of the Gregorian New Year with fireworks and light displays.

As the clock strikes midnight and the calendar turns to the New Year, cities around the world gear up for spectacular celebrations, with each city celebrating the occasion in its own unique way. From dazzling fireworks to cultural traditions, the global welcome to 2024 is a kaleidoscope of diverse celebrations.
