The program and the cast of the event were revealed this Monday, in Mira, during a press conference that was attended by the singer himself. Raul Almeida, president of Turismo Centro de Portugal, Artur Fresco, mayor of the Municipality of Mira, Luís Salgueiro, representative of RFM, and Francisco Reigoto, president of the Parish Council of Praia de Mira, were also present.
This collaboration between the municipality of Mira, RFM and Turismo Centro de Portugal has been going on since 2015/16. Raul Almeida emphasized the importance of major events in tourism in the Central region of Portugal, which seeks to combat seasonality. The figures show a 13% increase in tourist activity since the beginning of the year, largely due to events such as New Year's Eve. This generates wealth and contributes to the local economy. Almeida highlighted Turismo Centro de Portugal's ongoing commitment to supporting the event as a regional and national highlight.
Artur Fresco highlighted the magnitude of the event, which has attracted visitors from all over the country. In addition, he announced two great novelties for this year: the introduction of "street food" over the three days, providing a variety of culinary options, and the solidarity aspect of the event, since all bars on site will be operated by the Mira Volunteer Firefighters. Fresco expressed confidence that it will be a memorable night in Mira.
Nuno Ribeiro, the headliner, shared his excitement to perform at a New Year's Eve celebration for the first time. He promised a special concert, full of energy, joy and dedication, to mark one of the most special nights of the year.
Francisco Reigoto, president of the Parish Council of Praia de Mira, praised the successful partnership between the entities involved and expressed continued support for the event.
Luís Salgueiro emphasized that the New Year's Eve RFM Praia de Mira is the only New Year's Eve party in the country with the name RFM. Celebrating New Year's Eve in this place over the course of a weekend makes it possible for people to visit and explore the county, contributing to the local economy.
