Opening ceremony on July 26 It all now awaits for the start of the Paris Games which will officially commence with the opening ceremony taking place on July 26.
It will surely be a groundbreaking affair as the ceremony is to take place outside a stadium for the very first time. The venue for the ceremony will be the Seine River where a one-of-its-kind event is planned. In the heart of Paris, the athletes will take part in the ceremony along the city river.
There will be free access at several points on the banks of the Seine that will also allow fans to watch the event without tickets on the Upper Pier. For the bottom access, tickets will be required. The traditional parade of the athletes will take place in boats sailing on the river, rather than the foot parade on the tracks of a stadium, as seen in the previous editions’ opening ceremonies.
Around 100 boats are said to carry an estimated 10,500 athletes along the Seine. The boats will pass through the iconic Parisian landmarks..
