In the United States, Bryant Park in Manhattan, New York, will host a special memorial program on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The park’s lawn will be fitted with 2,753 empty chairs to represent those who lost their lives in the World Trade Center attacks.
Each Chair Will Represent a Life
In the planned memorial arrangement, each empty chair will symbolize a life lost in the attacks. Visitors will be able to place carnations on the chairs from 8:00 a.m. on the morning of September 11 and write remembrance notes for the deceased.
Donation Campaign for Carnations
Under the event, Bank of America announced it would donate $25 for each carnation left. Donations based on up to 3,000 carnations are planned to be divided among the NYPD, FDNY, and Port Authority PBA foundations.
25th Year Special Concert
The day's remembrance program will continue in the evening with a music event. The American Symphony Orchestra will hold a free remembrance concert at Bryant Park as part of the 25th anniversary of September 11. According to the park's official program, the concert will start at 7:00 p.m. and end at 8:15 p.m.

Remembrance Program Can Be Watched Live
The event is planned to be available online for those who cannot attend in person. This way, the remembrance program held on the 25th anniversary of September 11 can be viewed from outside New York.
Bryant Park's archives also contain a record of a similar 9/11 remembrance consisting of 2,753 empty chairs. According to information released by the park, each chair at the 2011 event represented a person who lost their life in the World Trade Center attacks.
25th Anniversary of September 11
