New York to light up skyline in memory of 9/11 victims on 24th anniversary

On September 11, New York City will once again honor those who lost their lives in the 2001 terrorist attacks with the annual “Tribute in Light.” The display, now marking its 24th year, projects two bright beams into the night sky, symbolizing the Twin Towers that collapsed during the tragedy.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93. Each year, families of victims, survivors, and citizens gather to remember not only the lives lost but also the courage of first responders who rushed in to help.

The twin light beams, visible for many miles around the city, have become a solemn but powerful reminder of resilience and collective memory. Organizers say the tribute allows New Yorkers and visitors to reflect quietly, while also sending a message of unity that reaches far beyond the city.

Ceremonies at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum will feature the reading of victims’ names, moments of silence, and personal tributes. Across the United States, communities are also preparing their own observances, from vigils to flag displays.

For many, the Tribute in Light is not only a remembrance of immense loss but also a symbol of strength. As the beams rise once more into the night sky, they will remind the world of the enduring spirit of New York and the lasting impact of a day that reshaped history.
