September 11, 2001 Commemoration

On September 11th, join the 9/11 Memorial & Museum from wherever you are across the country to take part in active remembrance and recognize how we are all connected to one another underneath the same big sky. Snap a picture of the sky – no matter the weather – and post it to Instagram with #NeverForget911, #RemembertheSky, and @911memorial.

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. 

This year, for the first time ever, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum has partnered with AMC Theatres on a new initiative commemorating the anniversary of the day that changed our world forever. Complementing our Anniversary in the Schools program, Anniversary in the Theaters gives groups and organizations across the country a rare opportunity to host — at their local AMC theaters from September 6-11 — screenings of our new, 35-minute film featuring first-person accounts of the unity, resilience, and hope that defined September 11th and remain more relevant today than ever.

Each year in commemoration of 9/11, the twin beams of Tribute in Light shine, recalling the Twin Towers and honoring those killed.

The Never Forget Fund supports programs that help students, educators, law enforcement, military, and intelligence professionals better understand and connect to the stories of 9/11. Make a donation in honor of the anniversary today.

Here are some elements to consider when planning your 9/11 anniversary observance.
