9/11 Ceremony of Remembrance 2024

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 will begin at 8:30 a.m., Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at the St. Augustine Fire Department Station No. 1 on Malaga Street.

The 15-minute ceremony will include a presentation of the colors by St. Augustine Fire and Police Departments and St. Johns County Fire and Rescue, a musical number, and remarks by a fire department member.

There will be a moment of silence at 8:45 a.m., timed to coincide with 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 will ring in four intervals of five rings each, a tradition called "Striking the Four Fives." It signifies the last alarm of a firefighter. 

Admission: Free.

When: 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Where: The St. Augustine Fire Department Station No. 1, 101 Malaga Street, St. Augustine, 32084.
