The Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place at 21:00 local time in the Stade de France.
Details
Opening Ceremony Director Thomas Jolly will also direct the Closing Ceremony, which will be a “very acrobatic show with an operatic dimension.” The Ceremony will begin with a performance by the Haendel-Hendrix Academy Choir as the Olympic Flame enters the Stade de France, followed by the flagbearers of the participating nations.
To celebrate the first gender-equal Olympic Games in history, the medal ceremony for the women’s marathon (as opposed to the men’s event, which occurred yesterday) will be held. The 45,000 volunteers of Paris 2024 will also be honoured.
The artistic portion of the Ceremony, entitled “Records,” will take viewers “on a dreamlike journey through the foundations of humanity” that “celebrates the shared human experience of the Olympic Games” and “pays homage to the creation of the Olympic Games and their revival by Pierre de Coubertin.” 270 artists and performers, including bands Air and Phoenix, will play a part in this segment.
As is tradition, the Olympic flag will be handed over by Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, to Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles in the final segment of the evening. This will be followed by a 15-minute artistic presentation showcasing the culture of Los Angeles which will reportedly feature performances by locals Billie Eilish, HER, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Snoop Dogg, as well as an appearance by Tom Cruise.
