Mayor Karen Bass celebrated recently the installation of Olympic and Paralympic flags at City Hall — marking a historic moment as Los Angeles will host the event for a third time in 2028 — and highlighted efforts to make it a “Games for All.”
Council President Paul Krekorian, LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman, Olympic and Paralympic athletes and community leaders joined Bass to celebrate the return of the Olympic flag, and the arrival of the Paralympic flag for the first time in the city’s history. In addition, the city unveiled an exhibition showcasing photographs and other memorabilia from the 1932 and 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to come see the flags and exhibit.
“In just a few years, we will host the world’s greatest athletes. For them, after years and even decades of dedication, the 2028 Games are an opportunity to prove themselves on the world’s greatest field of play,” Bass said. “For Angelenos, the 2028 Games means an opportunity to bring urgency behind many important infrastructure projects — a greener Los Angeles, a Los
Angeles that is easier to get around, a Los Angeles where all residents are connected to one another.”
The games will present an opportunity to create jobs, support businesses and uplift local communities, according to Bass.
