This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, and you may be looking for events around NYC to memorialize this solemn day.

Over the past two decades, NYC has remembered those we lost in the attacks through music, somber ceremonies, art installations and incredible symbols like the Tower Lights. In 2023, events include vigils, memorials, and tribute runs. Here are some ways to mark the significant date. 

How to mark 9/11 in NYC

  • Things to do

The 9/11 Memorial Museum, located where the Twin Towers once stood, explores the history of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The museum houses artifacts, historical records, firefighting equipment and a memorial exhibition. 

While it's closed to visitors on September 11, it's open during the rest of the week. Adult general admission costs $33. Every Wednesday afternoon at 1pm, a bagpipe tribute honors those who died on 9/11 as well as those who are sick or who have died from exposure to hazards and toxins in the aftermath of 9/11. Bagpipers play near the Last Column and the 9/11 Memorial Glade.
