Area near Bratislava's Kuchajda Lake hosting Olympic Festival as of Friday

An Olympic Festival dedicated to the 2024 Olympics in Paris (July 26-August 11) started in the area near Lake Kuchajda in Bratislava's borough of Nove Mesto on Friday.

During the next 17 days, visitors will be able to experience an atmosphere like the one that athletes themselves experience at the Games. The Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee (SOSV) have organised many sporting and cultural events for the festival.

The organisers have prepared a rich cultural and social programme as part of the festival, which will feature musicians, singers, dancers and music bands every day. At the same time, the festival serves as an official 'fan zone' for the Slovak Olympic team. Following their return from Paris, Slovak Olympians will visit the festival, along with athletes who took part in past Olympics. The Olympic Festival will be open every day during the Paris Olympics.
