As the Paris 2024 Olympic Games draw to a close, the world eagerly anticipates the grandeur of the Closing Ceremony, set for August 11, 2024. Over 17 days of extraordinary athletic achievements and vibrant celebrations will culminate in a spectacular event, directed by the visionary Thomas Jolly. Aptly titled "Records," this ceremony promises to be a memorable finale, staged on an impressive 2,800 m² platform at the iconic Stade de France.

A Celebration of Triumph and Emotion

The Closing Ceremony will be a fitting tribute to the athletes who have captivated us with their performances. Thomas Jolly, who previously directed the largest open-air spectacle for the Opening Ceremony, returns to deliver a closing event that blends emotion with celebration. "On August 11, 2024, we turn a new page as we bid farewell to the athletes and delegations who have inspired, thrilled, and moved us during these 17 days of intense competition," said Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024.

A Visual and Musical Extravaganza

The Stade de France will be transformed into a colossal concert hall, featuring over a hundred performers, including acrobats, dancers, and circus artists. With an original soundtrack and musical performances by world-renowned artists, the ceremony will offer a sensory journey through time, honoring the past while looking to the future. Spectacular lighting effects, giant sets, and innovative costumes will create an immersive experience for spectators.

Traditional Highlights and Unforgettable Moments

The ceremony will include traditional elements such as the parade of athletes, the flags of the nations, and the handover of the Olympic flag to the Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee. These moments will be enriched by Jolly's creative touch, ensuring they leave a lasting impression on all who witness them.

A Message of Reflection and Celebration

Thomas Jolly’s vision for the ceremony is not just about celebration but also about reflection. "We celebrate, but consciously," Jolly explains. The show aims to remind us of the Olympic Games' significance and their impact on society. It will be a moment to honor the Games' origins, celebrate the present, and inspire future generations.
