Olympic Festival Paris 2024 held at the SNFCC

From July 26 to August 11, the Hellenic Olympic Committee (HOC), in cooperation with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) and under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), is organizing the Olympic Festival Paris 2024. Stavros Niarchos Park at the SNFCC is transformed into a unique meeting point for young and old, in the context of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Naturally, the heart of this top-tier sports institution is beating in France this summer, but all the rest of us can get a taste of it at the Olympic Festival Paris 2024.
The festival will open with the live screening of the opening ceremony on July 26, and end with the live screening of the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, at the Great Lawn of Stavros Niarchos Park. In addition, every day, from 19:00 to 21:00, the Olympic Festival Paris 2024 will offer a rich program of sporting activities and artistic events, as well as all-day screenings of Olympic events at the Park Kiosk.  
A detailed look at the Festival’s events:
Live screening of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies
On Friday, July 26, at 20:30 local time, the Opening Ceremony will be screened live on a giant screen at the Stavros Niarchos Park Great Lawn, to be enjoyed by all visitors. The same will happen with the Closing Ceremony on Sunday, August 11.
