An estimated 40 thousand people packed Albert Part last night to welcome 2010 at the annual Legend FM Fiji Street party.
With people from all walks of life dancing the night away it was a sight to remember as the countdown ended with a huge fireworks display.
Several tourists were also at the Street party and had come from Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the US.
One of the first families to arrive at Albert Park yesterday came all the way from Waidina in Nitasiri.
They set up their tent and brought their lovo food and grog with the entire family to welcome the new year.
Total Event Manager, Loretta Jackson said there is so much to expect come next year, if you missed out last night.
And it’s that time of the year again when people make new year resolutions and set themselves goals and targets for the new year.
But not everyone wants to change.
Meanwhile, Villages of Burelevu-i-cake of Tavuki in Kadavu celebrated 2010 with a feast and beating of drums which started last night and ended this morning.
