Those unable to make it to Paris, France, for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games were invited to a block party in the city of Paris, Tennessee, to celebrate instead. Held at the city's Eiffel Tower Park, the event featured local organizations, businesses and residents. In addition to celebrating the Olympic spirit, the celebration brought together residents and visitors with live music, food trucks, entertainment, and fun at the splash pad at the park. A live streaming of the Olympics was also held as part of the festivities.
