Each year, on May 30, we mark the anniversary of the formal end of recovery operations at Ground Zero. In a ceremony on the Memorial plaza, we will honor the courage and sacrifice of 9/11 rescue, recovery, and relief workers, remember those who have died due to 9/11-related illness and injury, and recognize the spirit of survivors and members of the downtown community.

Join us for a live performance of Behind the Lines: A 9/11 Story, led by internationally acclaimed trumpeter Dominick Farinacci, featuring retired FDNY firefighter Bill Spade and U.S. military veteran Jaymes Poling. Set against the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Spade and Poling relive their experiences, revealing a powerful, shared bond of strength, meaning, and the human capacity to endure. Their stories, woven together with a deeply moving musical performance by Farinacci and a cast of renowned musicians, unite audiences in remembrance and reflection. This production is directed by Emmett Murphy.
