Each year, the City of St. Augustine holds a Ceremony of Remembrance, a community gathering to remember those who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This year's ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, September 11, 2026, at the St. Augustine Fire Department Station No. 1 on Malaga Street.

The 15-minute ceremony includes a presentation of the colors by the St. Augustine Fire and Police Departments and St. Johns County Fire and Rescue, music, and remarks by the fire department or special guest.

There's a moment of silence at 8:45 a.m., timed to commemorate when the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center in 2001. After the moment of silence, the St. Augustine Fire Department's historic 1900 fire bell rings in four intervals of five rings each, a tradition called "Striking the Four Fives." It signifies the last alarm of a firefighter.
