The countdown for welcoming the first day of the year begins in Geneva much before and reaches the zenith on the 31st December which is typically the New Years Eve. New Year eve in Geneva is celebrated with a grand feast, where classy champagne adds to the glamour of the banquet. Cherished dinner with friends followed by a rhythmic ball dance further sets the mood of New Year in Geneva.
As the church bell rings at midnight, everyone kisses and hug each other to wish good luck and best wishes for the New Year in Geneva. The streets are crowded with party goers. They dance and drink on the road. They shout, yell at the top of their voice to welcome New Year and wish each other in the heartiest manner. At this time of the year, all schools, colleges and offices remain closed in Geneva. People go out for camping and enjoying with near and dear ones. They also exchange gifts in the form of bouquet, cards, cakes and candies.
