First country to enter new year

The first country to enter a new year is usually considered to be Kiribati, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean. Kiribati is located just west of the International Date Line, which runs roughly through the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Because of its location, Kiribati is the first country to enter a new year, followed closely by other Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu, Nauru, and the Marshall Islands.

In Kiribati, the new year is celebrated with traditional dances, music, and feasting. The country's capital, Tarawa, hosts a large celebration at the national stadium, which includes a fireworks display and a traditional Kiribati dance performance.
