The Olympic Rings and Paralympic Agitos will be unveiled in Brisbane and South East Queensland over the weekend of 22 and 23 July, marking ‘9 Years To Go’ to the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on 23 July 2032.

A series of activities and sporting activations involving Olympic and Paralympic athletes are planned across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast to mark the occasion, with communities encouraged to celebrate the milestone together.

Celebrations will culminate in a spectacular drone show on Saturday night (22 July) that will light up the Brisbane skyline above the Story Bridge and Brisbane River. The show will consist of more than 500 environmentally efficient drones illuminating the Rings and Agitos in the night sky, alongside light displays of Games linked imagery.

The drone show will commence at approximately 7:00pm, with crowds urged to stake their spot early and with a clear view of the Story Bridge.
Best vantage points will be Howard Smith Wharves, Wilson Outlook, Riverwalk near the Story Bridge
