They are already asleep, but they were the first to celebrate 2021. And not from home with relatives connected in Zoom but on the street, illuminated by fireworks fired into the sky of Auckland. New Zealand welcomed 2021 with an impressive message these days: “We have eliminated the coronavirus.” Under this lucky star, the crowd gathered in Hagley Park to watch the fireworks display featuring many classic countdowns. After “a busy year,” event organizer Tanya Cokojic said: “We lit up the sky over Hagley Park with an impressive fireworks display. It’s a beautiful message.”
New Years Eve in the world, who celebrates first and who later
The extraordinary show, shared live by the New Zealand government, marks one of the largest New Year’s Eve fireworks events in the world.
New Zealand was among the first to celebrate the arrival of the new year, and although Samoa is only an hour away, its inhabitants will be among the last to enter in 2021. In fact, the American islands’ clock is backward. 25 hours compared to New Zealand.
“Happy New Year! I hope 2021 is a much better year!” Writes one user on Instagram. And hope for a better future seems to be the main content of the thousands of images shared online by New Zealanders to celebrate the arrival of the new year together.
