Paris 2024 marks the first time in the history of the Olympic Summer Games that the Opening Ceremony is held outside a stadium. Instead of familiar images of athletes marching out along an athletics track, guests and viewers were treated to a colourful river parade through the heart of the French capital. The Seine, the city’s main water artery, substituted the traditional track, and the quay became spectator stands, while the setting sun reflecting off famous Parisian landmarks provided the backdrop for the event. This outdoor concept also makes Paris 2024 the largest Opening Ceremony in terms of audience and geographical coverage.

Almost 100 boats carrying an estimated 10,500 athletes floated along the Seine during the parade. The larger of the 206 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) represented in the parade had boats to themselves, while the smaller ones shared boats. Camera equipment set up on the decks allowed spectators to see the athletes up close and witness their emotions.

Almost 600,000 people was able to enjoy the Opening Ceremony in person. True to its slogan, “Games Wide Open”, Paris 2024 tried to make the event accessible to as many people as possible by taking it outside of the traditional stadium setting. There were 222,000 free tickets available to watch the parade from the upper banks of the Seine, in addition to 104,000 paid tickets on the lower quays. This marks the first Opening Ceremony where most spectators did pay an admission fee – another historic milestone for Paris 2024. Those in Paris who could not get tickets were able to watch the Opening Ceremony on 80 giant screens set up throughout the city. An additional 1.5 billion people from around the world tuned into the television broadcasts of the ceremony.
