One month away from the first day of 2023, many are still looking for what to do on New Year’s Eve. This year, a fact should prevent many people from leaving their hometowns far away.

Anyone from Belo Horizonte will be well served with options to wait for the coming year. Restaurants, bars and parties organize their events and hope to please all tastes.
