The Pacific nation of Kiribati has become the first country to see in the new year. The country's largest island, Kirimati, entered 2024 at 10am UK time. Next to say goodbye to 2023 will be New Zealand at 11am

Thanks to the unique location next to the international date line, the Republic of Kiribati sees the sunrise first every day. Likewise, this island nation in the Central Pacific rings in the New Year first in the world. So if you visit one of its 32 atolls for New Year's Eve, you will have a special one-of-a-kind celebration.

About Kiribati
The largest Kiribati's island Kiritimati or Christmas Island is likely to hold the most colorful New Year's festivities. These typically run at hotels and traditional meeting houses, scattered across the island. Feasting is an integral part of every local festival, and on the end-year occasion, Kiribati people have a menu containing a roast pig and crayfish, as well as other traditional foods, such as taro, banana galore, and of course, coconuts. Also, the most common beverage is coconut sap, collected from coconut flowers and consumed with water, tea, or alcohol.
