Mobility

The main way to access Copacabana will be through public transportation, including subway, trains and buses, which will have special schemes to meet passengers. It is worth noting that several streets will also have special traffic operating scheme of CET-Rio with the implementation of blocking and signalling points to ensure the road safety of the public in the neighborhoods of Copacabana, Leme, Botafogo, Flamengo, Ipanema and Leblon, in the South Zone.

Security

An advanced COR-Rio base will monitor 24 hours on Copacabana. There will be 200 operators from various bodies integrated into the Situation Room. Six drones are included in the special scheme. In addition, there will be a real-time update of information on weather forecast, traffic and transport on the official COR-Rio channels. A total of 78 military police towers will help monitor the public. The pedestrian access will have magazine points. The marketing of glass bottles by street vendors, the surrounding of public areas by sheds, the parking on the streets vetoed by CET-Rio, the loading and loading of goods after the specified time and the use of area larger than that already granted by kiosks is prohibited.

Gilberto Gil and João Gomes will do shows

In the program of the party organized by Riotur, a lot of music, art and culture on 13 stages spread throughout the city. There are several attractions, with shows by great Brazilian artists like Gilberto Gil, who will have the participation of Ney Matogrosso, in the Stage Rio, in front of the Copacabana Palace. In the same place, the night will feature the performance of the singer Belo, who will receive Alcione. João Gomes, next to Iza, will sing his hits In the Samba Amstel Stage, at the time of Rua República do Peru, in front of the Posto 6, the space will be for those who like samba in the foot.

For the first time, Réveillon of Copacabana, for example, will have new visual dimensions in its structures, combining more technology and new designs. The burning of fires, in turn, promises to be historic: there will be 19 ferries distributed along the waterfront, almost twice the number used in 2024, and 12 minutes of pyrotechnic spectacle in the sky, the largest ever held in Rio. A show with 1,200 drones, in honor of the city, will be part of the show, with images synchronized to fireworks and accompanied by a special soundtrack, signed by DJ Alok.

In addition to Copacabana, the traditional fire burning will take place in other parts of Rio de Janeiro for those who want to enjoy the Réveillon in high astral: on the Flamengo (three ferries, 10 minutes long), on the Penha Church (8 minutes), on the West Park (6 minutes) and on the Realengo Park (6 minutes).

The staff will act in shifts, from 6 am on 30 December until 1 January. Of the total number of agents, 471 will be exclusively employed in traffic monitoring and surveillance. In addition, the operation will have the support of 90 cars, between cars and motorcycles, as well as ten trailers. The teams will also work with a focus on the supervision of street vendors, especially to curb the sale of glass bottles, kiosks and beach tents.

Agents of the Urban Control Coordination, Undersecretary of Operations, Coordination of Integrated Territorial Actions, Rio + Safe and other Seop coordinators will be involved in the operation. As in previous editions, the Municipal Guard's Command and Mobile Control Center will be parked on Avenida Atlântica, corner with Rua República do Peru, with access to GM-Rio Operational Map that monitors in real time the location of each agent, giving more agility in flagrante and coercion of offenses. The operation will also include agents of the Dog Operations Group (GOC) working around the subway stations Siqueira Campos and Cardinal Arcoverde, in preventive patrol action and in support of the public. The operation will involve all GM-Rio special groups, also counting teams from Special Operations Groups (GOE) and Mobile Tactics (GTM), as well as the Motorcycle Guard Group (GGM).

The Special Traffic Group teams will implement and monitor the blocking points according to the planning made by CET-Rio. The municipal guards will also be responsible for the implementation of the blockades in the leisure area, supervision of the parking ban on Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana and the monitoring and monitoring of subway stations. Agents will also monitor strategic points to oversee chartered bus parking. To perform the traffic actions, teams will have the support of radio transmitters and smartphones for direct contact with COR-Rio, allowing immediate communication in emergency situations or in relation to signaling changes, prioritizing the flow and draining of the public at the end of the event. Two drones will also be used in the preventive actions of Seop and the Municipal Guard.

The bracelets are made with waterproof and quite resistant material allowing their use in sea water. The distribution will be made by municipal guards who will be in the access barriers to Copacabana Beach and also on the edge. The action, which is already traditional in this period, is another tool to assist in the rapid identification of children if they are lost from those responsible.

CENTRAL OPERATIONS - 700 CAMERAS

All points of the city where there will be stages for the Réveillon 2026 will have COR-Rio monitoring. There will be about 700 cameras accompanying the movement at the parties organized by the City Hall.

In addition to the expansion of the camera park, the Réveillon 2026 in Copacabana will have the modernization of the waterfront monitoring system - runways of Atlantic Avenue, boardwalk and sand strip. Six more superzoom equipment will be installed, which allow the image to be approximated by up to 15x, without loss of quality. With these, the number of long-range cameras on Copacabana Beach reaches 14. The devices visualize up to 300 meters from the camera positioning point, and can be remotely controlled by COR-Rio operators.

In addition, more than 5,000 cameras from Prefeitura do Rio are available. The COR-Rio app is free of charge, available for Android and iOS in virtual app stores, and has English, Spanish, French and Chinese versions.

The transfers will be coordinated by the Central Municipal Regulation. The hospitals will receive reinforcements in the shifts to meet the demand of the Réveillon.

The Municipal Institute of Sanitary Surveillance (IVISA-Rio) implemented an integrated articulation with all kiosks administered by Orla Rio, a concessionaire responsible for the operation and maintenance of 309 establishments on the beaches of the city of Rio, conducting alignment and clarification sessions on good sanitary practices, sample collection for laboratory analysis and inspections. On the day of the turn, IVISA-Rio teams will be present inspecting services, medical stations and ambulances.
