About New Year's Day
New Year's Day, January 1, starts the year in the Gregorian calendar used almost everywhere for civil dates. It has been the start of the year in most of Europe since the 16th to 18th centuries, when countries moved away from dates such as March 25.
It is a public holiday in nearly every country. Celebrations begin the night before, on New Year's Eve, with countdowns and fireworks moving west across time zones, from Kiribati and New Zealand first to American Samoa last.
