Olympic Day is celebrated around the world on June 23 with the aim of sharing the values of Olympism and sport. In 2024, events will be held around this date all over the world. With a view to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024 in Paris, a major highlight will be held all weekend in the Paris region with Paris Olympism Day.
As part of the Cultural Olympiad a wide range of events are on offer until the end of June 2024.
On ne va pas se défiler! is the project spearheaded by the La Beauté du Geste collective, made up of 8 Seine-Saint-Denis "scènes conventionnées"(Centre National de la Danse, Théâtre Gérard Philippe, Espace 1789, Centre culturel Houdremont - Maison des Jonglages, MC93, Théâtre Public de Montreuil - CDN, La Commune - Centre Dramatique National d'Aubervilliers, Théâtre Louis Aragon).
The On ne va pas se défiler! project consists of a grand parade taking place on June 23, 2024. Each structure composes a piece of the parade, which will be assembled for the unique occasion of the parade. Around a thousand people are expected to attend the parade!
Each cultural structure has chosen to work with an artist, and a group of amateur artists.
Artists chosen by structure:
For some parts of these parades, calls for participation can be relayed here or on the websites of the participating theaters.
The L'Odyssée project, initiated by Petit Bain, a major celebration of the canals of Paris and the Seine, has also been awarded the Cultural Olympiad label: shipyards are held with local residents, and major river parades take place on the occasion of the European Heritage Days.
