The Paris Opening Ceremony will be the first of its kind — held outside of a stadium on a nearly four-mile stretch along the Seine River in the heart of the French capital.
The Parade of Nations will be done with boats carrying athletes past landmarks, climaxing with the Eiffel Tower. It’s expected that a few hundred thousand spectators will be scattered along the route, including on at least one bridge over the river.
The ceremony starts at 7:30 p.m. local time, which is 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.
