Majestic Closing Ceremony Of the Olympics to be Held at the Stade de France on Sunday

In a few hours, the Olympic Games will be wrapped up in style as Thomas Jolly and his team will stage “Records”, an exceptional all-new show at the Stade de France. This show will bring all events of the 2024 Olympics to a close after more than two weeks of sporting activities.

For the closing ceremony, Thomas wants to share a strong message in an immersive collective journey into the past, the origin of the games, the future, and ultimately, a timeless universe. The primary purpose is to celebrate the idea that we can make a difference together.

Fashion designers and seamstresses have been working hard preparing the costumes for the closing ceremony. It will feature traditional highlights, including the athletes’ parade and the Olympic flag handover to the 2028 Los Angeles Games organizers. And like the opening ceremony, all 120 costumes for the closing event are made of recycled materials.

“We used recycled materials, like VHS cassettes from my mother’s house in Switzerland. All the pearls are damaged or broken, some are scratched, and that is what we wanted to show with this ceremony,” said Kevin Germanier, a designer at the Olympic Games.

It will take place in a more traditional setting after the Seine River was used for the audacious opening ceremony. The opening ceremony brought many costumes and designs of great significance to the respective countries.

It features the same artistic director, Thomas Jolly, and will include “over a hundred performers, acrobats, dancers, and circus artists”.

He said the Olympic spirit that has taken over during the games is “the sum of humanity”.

“I think the Olympic Games embraces something that represents us all. And that is what we wanted to say during the opening ceremony. We’ll continue to say at the closing ceremony,” he said.

The closing ceremony on Sunday takes place from 9.00 pm to 11.30 pm at the Stade de France in Paris. Traditional highlights of the closing ceremony, such as the flags of countries, the athletes’ parade and the handover of the Olympic flag to the Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee, will provide memorable moments while marking the end of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
