SUMMER ON THE PARK - CELEBRATING 10 YEARS

A season of events inspired by the magic of London 2012

This Summer at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is truly set to be one to remember, with a jam-packed programme to celebrate 10 years since the spotlight was shone on London for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.  

Join us as we mark 10 amazing years since Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park took centre stage, with live music, sporting events, community events, and much more.  

Remember some of the most iconic moments of London 2012 at Lee Valley VeloPark which hosts a free exhibition telling the legacy story of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including 2012 medals and torches on loan from the National Paralympic Heritage Centre.  

Experience incredible performances from your favourite artists at the London Arena, from ABBA Voyage, to headliners  the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June.

This year will also see our biggest ever Great Get Together event in July where we invite you to join us for an exciting day of music, family-fun activities and food stalls. Register your interest.

Following the Great Get Together, the Park will host a smaller scale Festival Site through the summer – ‘Celebrating 10 Years’ Festival Site - from Sunday 24 July through to Monday 8 August, which will offer a mix of screen and stage entertainment in the north of the Park.  

Expect live-music, movies, mass karaoke and for some added nostalgia, footage of Team GB and Paralympics GB winning gold at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Not only is there a big screen, there are lots of fun activities including fitness workshops, table tennis, a giant treadmill, live performances from UK Skiffle-Pop band Thrill Collins, other great bands and live DJs. Register your interest.

July and August will see Lee Valley VeloPark host the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games track cycling, becoming the world’s first sports arena to host competitions for Olympic, Paralympic, World Championship and Commonwealth events.  Footage of the cycling will be shown on the screen at the ‘Celebrating 10 Years’ Festival Site.  

Then in September, finishing of an incredible season – Beautiful People - the world's friendliest party is all about bringing people together under a shared love of music and the summer sun.  

Watch and share the stories of the people and places that make the Park what it is today.
