What can we expect from the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony?
Unlike the opening ceremony which was held at the Seine river, the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics will take place completely at the Stade de France athletics stadium, which has a capacity to accommodate 80,000 people. Major events like the athletes’ parade and the Olympics flag handover to the organisers of the Los Angeles Games will headline the closing ceremony. Two-time Paris Olympics medallist Manu Bhaker and hockey bronze medallist PR Sreejesh have been named as India’s flag-bearers.
Not much has been revealed with regards to who will perform at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, but according to the official website of the Paris Olympics, more than 100 performers, dancers, acrobats and circus artists will team up with globally famous singers to entertain fans with several musical performances.

“Part of the show will take place in the air, accompanied by spectacular lighting effects and the flair of the French in the costumes, with the overall effect taking spectators – both those at home and in person – “on a journey into the past, to the origins of the Games, but also into the future,” adds the website.
“On 11 August 2024, the Olympic Games will be over, and the Olympic flame will be extinguished,” Jolly said as quoted by the website. “The Olympic Games already disappeared after antiquity and were re-founded in France by Pierre De Coubertin. We want to celebrate, but consciously.
“This moment of celebration will also be an opportunity to reflect on the importance of the Olympic Games in our society,” he added.
According to Jolly, the closing ceremony promises to be “very visual”, “acrobatic” and “operatic” along with a “great visual fiasco”.
“I’ve designed a show in which the Olympic Games disappear once again, and someone comes along and founds them. It’s a very visual, very choreographic, very acrobatic show with an operatic dimension to give a great visual fresco and say goodbye to athletes from all over the world.
“Together, let’s make this evening a memorable and conscious celebration, honouring the past and embracing the future,” commented Jolly.
