September 8, 2024 will mark the official handover from Paris 2024 to Los Angeles, the next host city of the Games in 2028. Around a month after the Olympic flag is handed over, the Closing Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will be held at the same venue, the Stade de France, to close a new chapter in the history of the Games.
This will be the final opportunity for Thomas Jolly, Artistic Director of the four Paris 2024 Ceremonies, to showcase his innovative approach and capture unique images for the world to see.
This ceremony will also be a final opportunity to celebrate the Paralympic athletes and their inspiring performances, offering an unforgettable event shared between athletes and supporters.
