9/11 Ceremony of Remembrance 2025

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 Thursday, September 11, 2025, 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 or special guest.

There will be a moment of silence at 8:45 a.m., timed to coincide with first plane hitting 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.
