9/11 Remembrance ceremonies around metro Atlanta this weekend

Posted by admin on

This Saturday, September 11, 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York City. September 11th is sometimes known informally as Patriot Day.

This year, there are Remembrance events scattered around metro Atlanta. Many will be available to stream live as they happen.

Our list is by no means complete, but we’ll keep adding to it as we find events.

If you don’t see a service or ceremony near you, we urge you to check hyper-local sources for nearby events. This could include the website for your local city or county government, your Next Door group, etc.
