A Remembrance Ceremony will be held today at Byrne Plaza in Downtown Wildwood.

The Wildwood Business Improvement District (WBID) hosts this observance each year to honor and remember the 2,977 people who were killed, and thousands injured, by the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States of America. This ceremony also honors the thousands of Ground Zero first responders who have died over the past 23 years due to 9/11-related illnesses.

The ceremony will include 9/11 first responders, representatives from the City of Wildwood Fire and Police Departments, as well as local religious and civic leaders. In addition to the speakers, the City of Wildwood Fire Department will conduct a “Ringing of the Bell” and there will be a “Presenting of the Colors” by the City of Wildwood Honor Guard.

Parking is always free for Byrne Plaza Events in the parking lots behind the shops, at the following locations:

• on the east side of Pacific Avenue (between Oak and Schellenger Avenues)

• and on the west side of Pacific (between Oak and Wildwood Avenues)
