September 11, 2001 Commemoration

On September 11, people around the world join the 9/11 Memorial & Museum to take part in our "Remember the Sky" social media commemoration, designed to help introduce a new generation to the lessons learned during and following 9/11 and ensure we fulfill our collective promise to never forget. 

Offered every year on and around the 9/11 anniversary, this interactive program connects participants with 9/11 Memorial Museum staff and guest speakers who share personal stories about the attacks and explore the importance of commemoration. 

In 2024, for the third year in a row, our partnership with AMC Theatres offered the opportunity to commemorate the anniversary by organizing a group of service volunteers, educators, parents, or colleagues for a free screening of our 30-minute Anniversary Digital Learning Experience film, hosted by you at any AMC Theatre nationwide. 

Each year in commemoration of 9/11, the twin beams of Tribute in Light shine, recalling the Twin Towers and honoring those killed. Tribute in Light is presented by Con Edison with support from ILoveNY.com.

As an extension of Tribute in Light, we partnered once again with NYC Tourism + Conventions and landmarks throughout the city who lit up their own facades and rooftops in blue. “Tribute in Lights” is a unique and simple gesture of collective remembrance.
