Closing ceremony | Paris 2024 Olympic Games
On 11 August 2024, the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will mark the end of over two weeks of events and festivities.
A few hours after the conclusion of the women's marathon, the final event of the Olympic Games, the Closing Ceremony will mark the end of this edition of the Summer Games. While the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony will be held outdoors, a first in the history of the Summer Games, the Closing Ceremony will take place in the more traditional way at the Stade de France.
As with previous ceremonies, the artistic direction of this event has been entrusted to director Thomas Jolly. For the moment, the programme remains a secret, but the usual key moments will be there: the parade of flags and athletes, the medal ceremony (probably including those for the women's marathon), the speeches and the extinguishing of the Olympic flame.
This Olympic closing ceremony will be full of daring, fraternity and emotion, offering a final moment of celebration and sharing to athletes from all over the world gathered at the Stade de France. With all eyes on the flame, the emotion will be palpable as we close the chapter on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
