Olympics closing ceremony: Who's performing, how to watch
The 2024 Paris Olympics are coming to an end Sunday after two weeks of excitement – and a lot of Snoop Dogg.
The closing ceremony will feature a parade of flags and athletes, along with performances by four California musicians. The California connection is a handover to the 2028 games, which will be held in Los Angeles.

Other parts of the opening ceremony proved controversial: One segment appeared to resemble a depiction of The Last Supper, famously painted by Leonardo da Vinci.

"Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. (The opening ceremony) tried to celebrate community tolerance," Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps told reporters two days later. "We believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry."
There are still nine athletic events on Sunday before the games officially end.
