September 11 Memorial Events in Brooklyn

Commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with these family-appropriate memorial events in the Brooklyn area, including the Run to Remember on Governors Island, a spiritual concert at Church of Saint Ann, and a family art project at Wave Hill in the Bronx.

Ten years later and so many of us are still devastated by the tragic events of September 11. We remember where we were, what we saw, whom we talked with or rested our shoulders on. For the 10th anniversary of the attacks, several events offer different ways to honor the fallen.

The World Trade Center Run to Remember 9/11 takes place on Governors Island, which has a gorgeous view of lower Manhattan. The event features three different running/walking races: a 5K for serious competitors, a family-friendly 3K, and a children's fun run. Proceeds benefit organizations associated with September 11-related services. 9:30-11am start times. $35 in advance; $40 on event day.

For something spiritual, Church of Saint Ann presents the Grace and Spiritus Chorale's Memorial Concert, with poetry and specially composed music selections. 4-6pm. Church of Saint Ann, 175 Montague Street, Brooklyn Heights.
