As the eventful year of 2023 comes to an end, countries around the globe celebrated New Year 2024 with great fervor. Germany, Athens, Russia and UAE welcomed new year with spectacular and colourful fireworks. New Zealand was one of the first countries to welcome the New Year and celebrated the occasion with great fervor. While USA is yet to welcome the New Year, visitors to Times Square got a small preview of New York City’s famed New Year’s Eve party on 29th December Friday, as the event’s organisers heaved handfuls of coloured paper skyward in a promotional event to test their confetti.
