The 2024 Paris Olympic Games are just around the corner and to celebrate, sports enthusiasts will be encouraged to show their support during a three-day extravaganza, aptly named FanFest.

Featuring musical performances, sports demonstrations, immersive activities, and appearances from talented athletes this event will bring the action to three cities from coast to coast, including Calgary!

“We are thrilled to be launching the first-ever Team Canada FanFest for Paris 2024,” said Jacqueline Ryan, Chief Brand and Commercial Officer of the Canadian Olympic Committee and CEO of the Canadian Olympic Foundation.

“Sport, and the Olympic Games in particular, has the unique power to bring communities together. We’re so excited to bring the excitement of Paris back to Canada, and to create spaces for families to create unforgettable memories while cheering on Team Canada!”
