The upcoming Summer Olympics' opening ceremony will take place on July 26.
Where will the Paris Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony take place?
Departing from tradition, this ceremony will break free from the confines of a stadium, taking place in the heart of the city, along the iconic Seine River.
Notably, this opening ceremony will be accessible to a vast audience, with most spectators able to attend without any admission fee. Upper quays will be open to the public, while lower quays will require tickets for entry. An estimated 600,000 spectators will be part of the celebrations, making it ten times larger than a typical Olympic stadium audience. To ensure everyone can revel in the magical ambiance, 80 giant screens and strategically placed speakers will be set up throughout the French capital, welcoming locals and visitors from all over the world.
The format of the Paris Olympics 2024 Opening Ceremony
The parade of athletes will have a unique twist, as it will be held on the Seine itself. Each national delegation will be on boats, equipped with cameras for an up-close view of the athletes, delighting television and online viewers. The athletes, numbering 10,500, will navigate through the center of Paris, showcasing their talents in the city that serves as the ultimate stage for the Games' 16-day sporting extravaganza. The parade will culminate at the Trocadéro, where the final elements of the Olympic protocol and grand performances will take place.
Again, contrasting the tradition, Paris 2024 places athletes at the core of the ceremony. The parade of delegations, as well as other segments, will prominently feature the athletes on stage alongside the performers. This reflects the Games' dedication to being athlete-centric, designed to celebrate and honor those who make the sporting event truly exceptional.
