The following is a submission from Pier Communications.
Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier is set to celebrate the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics that will broadcast on NBC on Sunday, August 11 at 7 p.m. PDT with a special ceremony to officially hand the guardianship of the Olympic Games to the organizers of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, which will air at 10 p.m. PDT.
Pacific Park continues to salute Olympic athletes nightly with the Ferris wheel’s dazzling light display filled with colors, patterns and transitions that honor and commemorate the 2024 Summer Games. NBC continues to broadcast the 2024 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and branded as Paris 2024, through August 11.
The nightly Ferris wheel light program features the five colored rings to symbolize the Olympic rings, which have represented the games internationally for over 110 years, a spectacular 90-foot-tall waving American flag to cheer on the nearly 600 athletes that make up Team USA, a French flag for the current host country and the American flag for host country 2028.
The Pacific Wheel is the world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel featuring 174,000 LED lights that are mounted on the Ferris wheel’s 40 spokes and two hubs. The Ferris wheel’s lighting system features 16.7 million color value combinations to display dynamic, custom, computer-generated lighting entertainment. The eco-friendly, enhanced LED lighting provides 81 percent greater energy savings than most Ferris wheel’s traditional incandescent bulbs.
The Ferris wheel soars nine stories high and lifts riders more than 130 feet above the Pacific Ocean to offer extraordinary views of the Southern California coastline from its location on the internationally popular Santa Monica Pier.
