In 2027, New Year’s Day falls on Friday 1 January. The holiday will be on Saturday 1 January in 2028.

New Year’s Day is a time of resolutions and starting fresh for some, while for others it is spent recovering from a big, late night spent with friends and family.

Micronesians watch fireworks, use firecrackers, have new year’s parties, feast to their heart’s content, and stay up until midnight like much of the rest of the world. But they also have a unique and interesting new year’s traditions of their own.
