Return of New York City's Tribute to the Light in September: A Solemn Annual Tradition Marking the 9/11 Anniversary, Visible from Up to 60 Miles Away
================================================================================
On September 11, 2025, New York City will commemorate the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with the annual display of the Tribute in Light. This powerful public art installation has become an iconic New York tradition and one of the most recognizable memorials in the world.
The Tribute in Light consists of 88 xenon lights, arranged in two squares of 48 feet, mirroring the original shape and position of the Twin Towers. These lights project two beams of light four miles high into the night sky from Lower Manhattan, creating a poignant and moving tribute.
The event is free for the public to witness and can be seen from various viewpoints throughout the city. Some of the best spots include Liberty State Park in Jersey City, Astoria Park in Queens, Battery Park, and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The Hoboken Waterfront also offers a unique vantage point for those in New Jersey.
In addition to the Tribute in Light, several iconic New York buildings will light up in solidarity. These include the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, Rockefeller Center, and the Oculus. Bridges throughout the state will also participate in the lighting, further emphasizing the unity and resilience of New York.
The Tribute in Light was first presented six months after the September 11th attacks and has continued to serve as a symbol of hope and remembrance. It is a testament to the spirit of New York, which shines brighter than ever.
It's important to note that the Tribute in Light does not provide any information about a foliage festival or New York Fashion Week 2025. However, September in New York is also a time for other notable events, such as San Gennaro, Broadway Week, and the US Open.
The Tribute in Light is set up on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage, just south of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. As the sun sets on September 11, 2025, the lights will begin to shine, reminding us that the spirit of New York continues to shine brightly, even in the darkest of times.
