Held annually on June 23, Olympic & Paralympic Day celebrates the Olympic and Paralympic movements and the joy of sport. In Houston, Olympians and Paralympians come together to introduce more than 250 children to a variety of sports while promoting fitness, well-being, sport culture, and educational opportunities.

​

The celebration brings the values of the Olympic and Paralympic movements to life through hands-on sports experiences, athlete appearances, autographs, and an Olympian and Paralympian Q&A.

​

In 2026, the event was held at the Aramco Arena inside FIFA Fan Festival™ Houston and featured bobsled, track and field, and soccer. Olympians and Paralympians from a variety of sports joined participants to share their experiences and take part in the activities.
