The Paralympics Opening Ceremony starts on August 28, with a parade on the historic Champs-Elysées and the Place de la Concorde.
The ceremony starts at 8 PM in Paris, or 2 PM ET/11 AM PT. According to the Olympic Committee , 184 delegations will be present, comprising over 4,000 athletes. The Paralympics have roots in an event started for wounded British WWII veterans in 1948, and the Paralympics started in earnest in 1960.
The Paralympics have coincided with every Olympics since. In Paris, there will be 22 events. The closing ceremony will take place on September 8.
