What aspect of American culture/history would you like to see highlighted in the opening ceremony of the 2028 LA Olympics?

Watching the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics has got my creative juices flowing. With a culture as rich as ours, there is an endless amount of things we could showcase to the world. What are you specifically interested in seeing: people, places, music, events, etc?
i-love-freesias@reddit
Not Snoop Dog of Girls Gone Wild.
Wait, too late.
I guess Trump has gaslighted the world into thinking guys like this deserve to represent our country.

MARCHING BANDS
We have a rich tradition of marching bands and the Olympics lends itself to showcasing that in so many way
Imagine pairing each country with a band for the opening ceremony. Or having local universities play for entertainment at events.
Surprise_Fragrant@reddit
OMG, this would be amazing. I freakin' love Marching Bands! Imagine separate bands, each playing that country's national anthem? Amazing. Probably too much though, when they all play over each other...
GM-the-DM@reddit
How about It's A Small World? Disney originally planned on having the Small World ride play the national anthems of the countries depicted until they heard the cacophony it caused so they wrote It's A Small World.
Surprise_Fragrant@reddit
That's a fun idea! I love Disney, and he truly is an American Icon, too, so what an homage to him! And on IaSW, the song is played in different styles to represent the different lands, so it would still be a way for many of the countries to have their own special representation.
WhichSpirit@reddit
Each country escorted in by a marching band playing their national anthem until the next country enters.
Spinelli-Wuz-My-Idol@reddit
Idk I think it would be cool if you did it for like the medal ceremonies. People might have to sight read though.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
YES. Let's just recreate the film Drumline. That's a surefire way to get the audience grooving
Spinelli-Wuz-My-Idol@reddit
Grand plan: hit em w the Flight of the Bumblebee
WhichSpirit@reddit
My brain read that as Fight of the Bumblebee. I don't know what that would be but I am down for it!
FearTheAmish@reddit
Long train
gogonzogo1005@reddit
Didn't they do that in 1996? Like the drum line style marching bands. Many of whom are Atlanta based.
Ready-Arrival@reddit
Or bring in an HBCU Marching Band
OldClerk@reddit
This would be the best choice by far
SquashDue502@reddit
I say we open the ceremony stunning the world with Rolling Thunder March lol
MDFornia@reddit
Some sort of spacecraft fly-by would be cool. Like a synchronized Falcon 9 landing or another Starship explosion off in the distance lol
Confetticandi@reddit
I would love to see a reprise of a Wild West number to Aaron Copland’s Hoedown. Like stunt riding through the stadium or something.
A professional marching band doing crazy stunts would also be so cool. Actually, maybe we just hire OSU to do it.
Similarly, a step team.
Indigenous language heritage is special here, not to mention code talkers helped us win in both World Wars. Would love to hear Americans share welcome messages in Choctaw, Navajo, Meskwaki…
French is the official language of the Olympics, so having someone give announcements in Louisiana French would be a nice twist on that.
khak_attack@reddit
"Hoe-Down" was featured in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics!
Confetticandi@reddit
Yes! They did a cool ice skating number to it. I would love a reprise for the summer Olympics.
khak_attack@reddit
They did!
___coolcoolcool@reddit
Something similar to this was my first thought as well!
catiebug@reddit
If you're gonna have OSU, you also need a deeply bawdy HBCU band in there too. A drum major grinding the staff so hard the friction ignites the Olympic torch while trombones hit low notes they weren't even designed for.
Confetticandi@reddit
Ooooh yes
scaredofmyownshadow@reddit
I was going to comment that it definitely needs to include Indigenous / Native American culture and you phrased better than I can!
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
I LOVE IT. These are all amazing ideas, both unique and educational! This is the type of shit the American Olympic Comittee needs to be researching. They should hire you pronto
AmericanMinotaur@reddit
It’ll be a little late, but I’d love to see a shout out to the country’s 250 anniversary (2026.)
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
OMG YES! In fact we should keep the party rolling from 2026 till 2028. Three straight years of party rockin!! Celebrate the 1800s in 2026, the 1900s in 2027, and the 2000s in 2028.
stirwhip@reddit
1700s: 😭
AmericanMinotaur@reddit

Folksma@reddit
Is this a good place to ask why the fk Lady Gaga, an American pop singer from the 2010s turned Hollywood actor, performed at the Paris Olympics
Wermys@reddit
USC Trojans marching bad in the lead. No one can convince me they don't flat out own joints when they come marching in.
TheSlatinator33@reddit
Total American Cultural Victory.
Fancy-Primary-2070@reddit
They had people from around the world There were a ton of French musicians but everyone just seems to be talking about Gaga here because, well, I guess US media isn't going to be like " Rim’K plays at the Olympics".
Folksma@reddit
Interesting. Feels like historically the opening ceremony has been all about promoting the host country's culture and history
Guess outside of beheading the queen and sex a lot of French history put to a lights show might not be taken well
Fancy-Primary-2070@reddit
and sex?
But I mean, Snoop dog was carrying a torch.
But I think they always do that. Like Keith Urban and John Legend were in Tokyo opening. I feel like the other countries have a more world view, but US seems to lean USA in their shows.
Tommy_Wisseau_burner@reddit
Have you not seen any Olympic ceremony before? That last sentence makes no sense if you’ve watched any Olympic ceremony.
Folksma@reddit
Did you not...see the sex references throughout lol
I honestly disagree tbh. Modern ceremonies really do seem to genereally lean twords representing the host country. This all just seems different. Not bad. Just a odd chocie imo for a country like France
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
RIGHT!? Plus Celine Dion and the playing of "Imagine"? I thought France would make sure it was 100% French
cherrycokeicee@reddit
Celine Dion is from Quebec. I thought it was cool to give a nod to another French culture.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
That is another way to look at it! I guess I was viewing French culture and Quebec culture as two distinctive things.
Folksma@reddit
I was honestly surprised when I saw them pop up lol it's almost as funny as Katy Perry's performance at King Charles coronation
I guess 10 points for the US and it's cultural victory?
Wermys@reddit
Strange as it is. Food. I HATE HATE HATE people who claim the US doesn't have a food culture. One of my pet peeves from usually European's who hate Americans in general and just try to lord over there so called superiority of us culturally.
bombatomba69@reddit
Not look fucking stupid would be my first wish.
ludicrous780@reddit
Who gives a fuck? People hate the US no matter what.
MPLS_Poppy@reddit
People on the internet do for sure. People in real life don’t actually. IRL people are much more nuanced than that.
ludicrous780@reddit
Nah it's fr. No matter what.
MPLS_Poppy@reddit
It’s really not.
ludicrous780@reddit
Hopefully not
WhichSpirit@reddit
My parents still complain about how embarrassing the 1996 Atlantic opening ceremony was.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
Me too.....I've already accepted that at least 25% of the nation will be pissed no matter what
doyathinkasaurus@reddit
Nah embrace it, these ideas would be one hell of a show!!
London 2012 had so much that was incredibly British and didn't necessarily translate to the rest of the world
But it was honestly one of the few times I've felt genuinely patriotic! That and the lettuce cam for the short lived premiership of Liz Truss

My friend, this is America. 25% of us are gonna be pissed even though they've never heard of the Olympics before.

I would like to see Michael Jordan running through the LA Coliseum with the torch in one hand and a bacon cheeseburger in the other hand.
I also demand that all competitions use feet, yards and stones as instead of meters.
WHO NEEDS THE 100M DASH WHEN YOU CAN WATCH THE 109.361 YARD DASH?!
ModernMaroon@reddit
Chicano culture generally and Cholo culture specifically would be cool to see.
Low riders, chromed out bikes, a performance by Snoop Dogg would be dope.
It should be an ode to West Coast culture.
WhichSpirit@reddit
Just found out the Australian swimming team hate it so...
We need MORE COWBELL!
mickeltee@reddit
I think a history of California would be cool. Starting from the first people to travel across the Bering Strait and settle in the area up to current day. Someone else mentioned low riders, and that would definitely be a part of the journey.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
Taking a state specific direction would be interesting to see. It would solve the issue of having two USA based olympics so close together (Salt Lake City has 2034). Can't be similar ceremonies when they focus on California and Utah histories!
mickeltee@reddit
Watching a Mormon themed opening ceremony would be pretty crazy.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
Crazy awesome, you mean! ....I think.... I know nothing of Mormon history.....should I be worried?
WhichSpirit@reddit
There would be a lot of polygamy but absolutely no references to sex and we'd have to watch it sober.
Tommy_Wisseau_burner@reddit
I get the optics would be weird as shit but highlighting Native American cultures would be pretty cool ngl
mickeltee@reddit
I think it would be awesome, and if they did a highlight reel of Jim Thorpe the greatest Native American Olympian of all time that would be cool.
Tommy_Wisseau_burner@reddit
It works better for western US culture (not sure about SoCal specifically) but the optics could look bad given that Native American cultures aren’t really ingrained in American culture the way Maori culture is in New Zealand, for example. And given our relationship with native Americans in sports especially (I don’t really need to go down the list) it can definitely come across as gimmicky and offensive if not handled right. If the Olympic were held in Nevada, Arizona, Oklahoma, the dakotas or northern Florida I could see it
Tommy_Wisseau_burner@reddit
I wanna see crip walking lmao
WhichSpirit@reddit
Needs to be done by Snoop Dogg
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
I want an entire segment that looks like when Kendrick Lamar performed "Not Like Us" at the Kia Forum. All of our gangs, unified for the Olympic Ceremony. God Bless America
Tommy_Wisseau_burner@reddit
I was about to edit and say imagine if they played “imagine” with bloods, crips, a bunch of sets, Latin kings, Aryan brotherhood, hells angels, etc, holding hands in chorus 😂
Flimsy-Squirrel1146@reddit
One of most iconic American experiences I have ever witnessed was a 4th of July show in Gasworks Park, Seattle. A Chinook helicopter flying overhead with a the flag trailing behind while blasting Jimi Hendrix “All Along the Watchtower.” Boom- there’s the whole show.
ketchupandvodka@reddit
I always like opening ceremonies that focus on the host nation’s history. Rio had a brief run through of all the types of people that reside in Brazil, Beijing focused on Chinese culture, and Athens basically had a moving museum showcasing moments in Greek history.
Maybe something similar for LA 2028, like a brief overview of important events in US history, or focusing on major events that happened in California and the American west in general. Maybe also put a spotlight on nature and all the national parks
Same-Grade7251@reddit
Something about cars and monster trucks
My-Cooch-Jiggles@reddit
It doesn’t seem like an appropriate time for us to be talking about our culture. Unless every country gets a moment. I would suggest how awesome our culinary culture is though. Most of it is borrowed but there are literally restaurants from like 30 different countries within like five miles of me. The variety here is insane. I literally got sick of Italian food within a week there because it lacked variety. Italy. One of the best food cultures on the planet.
mostie2016@reddit
Cowboy culture or at the very least some rodeo related stuff. Oh definitely the moon landing or space race stuff. I’m biased due to being Texan though.
ABCBA_4321@reddit
Well, considering who performed at the opening ceremony this year, I could see the following artist performing together:
Eminem, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube - While West Coast hip hop emerged from Southern California in the early 1980s, N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton had a huge cultural impact due the album's songs describing life in South Central LA. Considering how Eminem had been influenced by them with Dr. Dre being his mentor, it make sense to have all three of them perform together.
Metallica - The US has the most metal bands than any other country in the world with 17,557 of them from here. Metallica originated from LA and after seeing how good Gojira performed yesterday, I can see them being considered to participate.
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - I wouldn't be surprised if a country music artist gets chosen to perform in the ceremony. I could see also them try to bring in Shaina Twain, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton or Luke Combs if possible.
Green Day & Joan Jett - LA is one of the top 5 cities in the world for punk rock. Joan Jett is one of the earliest singers in the genre and both she and Green Day are from the Bay Area. It'll be cool to she them perform together on stage.
Foo Fighters - This one maybe less likely but it'll be awesome to see them perform.
Beyonce - Why not? She'll also be considered.
Billie Ellish - I can see her maybe sing Imagine during the end of the opening ceremony. She was hugely influenced by the Beatles after all.
Taylor Swift - There's no doubt that she'll be considered to be the final performer of the show.

A great giant wiener mobile, floating and shooting out cooked hot dogs into the crowd as it goes down the street.
mycatisanudist@reddit
Okay hear me out, this but each country gets a weinermobile
Confetticandi@reddit
Will there also be T shirt guns?
TucsonTacos@reddit
They’ve been converted to hotdog guns.
We could add t-shirt guns too!
But I ask, wouldn’t it be better to just add more hotdog guns then?
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
A weiner flotilla would be a crazy show of force. Our enemies will be shaking in their boots

Surprise_Fragrant@reddit

kirbyderwood@reddit
LA kind of did that when he had the Super Bowl
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
Since it is in LA, I could totally see an entire segment about Chicano culture. The low riders would be a hit!
powertop_@reddit
I agree with other folks, it should be LA/California specific since there will be another Olympics in the US shortly after. I’m sure there will be a tribute to Hollywood—$10 there’s a Singin’ in the Rain number, and I’ll bet Elton John comes out in the sparkly Dodger uniform again.
Since there’s such a diverse population here, I hope it can highlight all of the different immigrant communities that call this place home. Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Ethiopian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, El Salvadoran, Iranian, Armenian, all have enclaves in various parts of LA that I’m sure could put on a great show with nods to their roots. I also think Indigenous peoples like the Tongva and Chumash should get a spotlight.

Thanks for asking this. I’m from LA, so until now I’d just been thinking of it as a way to showcase local pride and culture. I hadn’t thought about how it’s really for the whole country. Gonna need an opening ceremony with more than Snoop Dog, the Chili Peppers, the Dodgers and the Lakers, then : )
gogonzogo1005@reddit
Well I think there will be a lot about the film industry and Disney. The gold rush. In my memory the American opening ceremony seem to feature the area/ state as the story more than the whole US.

Also keep in mind that 2026 is the 250th anniversary of 1776 - so it needs to go extra hard

That's the easiest opening ceremony, though.

Another thought, we absolutely need to have some kind of portion dedicated to southern Appalachian culture. Some fiddled and shit would make the crowds go wild
SquashDue502@reddit
I think it would be nice for them to recognize native Americans, slavery , and the waves of immigration, all of which still define our country today. Something tells me they will likely shy away from slavery though which is unfortunate. I know it’s supposed to showcase the best of our country but if the British colonies never made use of slaves, the U.S. would be so much different today.
Also our natural heritage of national parks and stunning landscapes, the diversity of which is pretty much unmatched by any other country on earth today.
Wood_floors_are_wood@reddit
Landing on the moon, Cowboys/the West, immigration impact on our culture
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
Those are three heavy hitters. I've always wondered how the "home" countries would react seeing their culture represented through our immigrants. Hopefully positively? Knowing the internet though....
Wood_floors_are_wood@reddit
I want to see stuff like Americans making our version of pizza, or making the hamburger, or creating Jazz or something
book81able@reddit
I’m sure there will be at least two segments: one celebrating Hollywood history and one celebrating Los Angeles’ international diversity. There’s a lot of communities in the city and highlighting how each has shaped it when the world has their eyes on the city is very important.
I’d enjoy something about Compton rap, Dre, Ice Cube, Kendrick, Tupac and Easy-E tribute, Snoop repping Long Beach.
We’ll get a taste in 2 weeks for the closing ceremony hand off.
Trouvette@reddit
I think the parade of nations had to be done on a red carpet.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
All great ideas. I'd love to see a segment where it bounces between rappers performing their biggest hits. LA has a lot of cultural zeitgeist to choose from.
I'm so worried/excited about the hand off. Please please please don't embarrass us LA
EndlessDreamer1@reddit
There is a lot (American revolution, Wild West, railroad-building, jazz, Ellis Island, moon landing, etc) I'd love from a historical perspective, but I'd also love something about technology/Silicon Valley/etc, as that has been so transformative in California since the last Olympics there in 1984.
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
There is just so much to choose from! I don't know how you can pick. One of my favorite opening ceremonies in recent memory, London 2012, really only touched on like seven cultural cornerstones of the UK. Like HOW CAN YOU PICK??

Inquizzidate@reddit
There’s definitely a lot of things I could think of here.
Considering the Olympics is being hosted in LA, I would like to see a heavy emphasis on the local culture of the region just like there was during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Specifically California’s early indigenous, Spanish, and Mexican history and culture, along with other things such as agriculture, the Golden Age of Hollywood, urbanization, transportation, and the tech boom.
But one thing I’d also like to see besides that would be the folk cultures and traditions of America’s different regions (the ones that were best preserved before modern-day pop culture).
AntiqueWarStories@reddit (OP)
I am worried that the organizers will hit the easy button and just showcase the aspects that are already popular. Like yeah, it would be cool to see Beyonce and Taylor Switft perform and some nods to Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.
But how amazing would it be to showcase aspects of our culture that are not as well known internationally. Local history, native culture, international neighborhoods, etc.
