First hosted in 1953 in Amsterdam, the World Gymnaestrada is held every four years and features more than 20,000 athletes from over 50 nations gathering for non-competitive gymnastics performances and activities.
The 2031 World Gymnaestrada will mark the first time it is held outside of Europe as the 19th edition of the event takes root in the heart of Las Vegas.
From July 7-13, 2031, eight of Las Vegas’ most prestigious venues, including MGM Grand Garden Arena, T-Mobile Arena, Mandalay Bay Beach, Mystère Theatre, Michael Jackson ONE Theatre, Fremont Street, Westgate Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention Center, will see gymnastics performed by people of all ages and abilities from around the world. Emphasizing group performances – some with hundreds of participants – the non-competitive event celebrates the sport and physical movement.
