After 18 action-packed days of sporting drama and entertainment, the 25th edition of the Winter Olympics will officially conclude with the Closing Ceremony.
The grand final will take place at the historic Verona Stadium, in the city of the same name. It will celebrate the achievements of all the athletes who participated in Milano Cortina 2026, as well as the traditional handover of power to the 2030 hosts, the French Alps.
It will be a shame to say goodbye to what has been a fantastic event, but all good things must come to an end – and the Winter Olympics are about to end with a bang.
According to Italian organizers, the closing ceremony “will reveal to the world the creativity, ingenuity and passion that define our country.” A feast of music, art and storytelling will be directed by Alfredo Accatino, with ballet dancer Roberto Bolle headlining the show.
