Description

The closing ceremony of the 2020 Summer Olympics is scheduled to take place in the Olympic Stadium, Tokyo on 8 August 2021. As mandated by the Olympic Charter, the proceedings combined the formal ceremonial closing of this international sporting event (including closing speeches, hoisting of the flags, the parade of athletes and the handover of the Olympic flag) with an artistic spectacle to showcase the culture and history of the current and next host nation (France) for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The theme of the Olympic Ceremonies is Moving Forward, referencing the global COVID-19 pandemic, with the closing ceremony theme being Worlds We Share, which is expected to cover Global Impact, Diversity, and a brighter future.

The closing ceremony will be largely pre-recorded with some live segments. Performers will adhere to social distancing measures during the live portions. There is expected to be a segment commemorating people who lost their lives in 'harrowing' events in history, such as the Hiroshima bombing.
