Each year on 9/11 in New York, the nearly 3,000 victims of the terrorist attacks that took place in the United States on September 11, 2001, are remembered. It is not a national holiday and seeing as it is deeply emotional for many people, it is a very somber day. Every September 11 in New York there are several special ceremonies to remember the World Trade Center attacks.
What can you expect during 9/11 in New York?
On September 11, you may notice differences in New York, especially in Downtown Manhattan, where the terrorist attack occurred. Ceremonies are held during this day, and opening hours may vary.
9/11 Ceremony in New York
Furthermore, there will be multiple ceremonies held in churches in the surrounding areas. If you want to purchase 9/11 Museum tickets keep in mind that the museum is closed on 9/11 to the general public, as ceremonies will be held here as well. Families of the deceased will lay flowers at the memorial sites, such as the 9/11 Memorial.
The 9/11 Memorial is open to the public from 3:00pm until midnight. In the morning the Anniversary Commemoration Ceremony is being held at the Memorial. This is not open to the public and you are not able to get close.
Moment of Silence
In the United States, the flags are hung half-mast to honor and remember the deceased. The American president announces a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m, the time when the first plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Tribute in Light
Every year on September 11th, the Tribute in Light is illuminated as soon as the sun goes down. The Tribute in Light takes place near the location where the Twin Towers stood. It is a very moving sight and you can visit the area at night. A lot of people in the neighborhood light a candle in remembrance and there is a solemn atmosphere.
