MINNESOTA 9-11 TRIBUTE CONCERT

The Minnesota 9-11 Tribute Memorial Concert takes place every September 11 at the Lake Harriet Band Shell celebrating life, America and each other.

On September 11, 2001, four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area on Tuesday 911. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage.

This event is designed to honor those Emergency Responders, Military personnel, and citizens who lost their lives in the tragic attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the plane crash in Pennsylvania. It is also to honor those who served in the past and/or currently serve in the emergency and military services that protect our cities and country.

BEGINNING AT 5:00 PM we will be featuring diverse community groups and performers, led in by the Heroes of ‘76 and the MSFSMPB (Mn State Fire Service Memorial Pipe Band) followed by the traditional concert 7-8:30 pm.

This year’s groups consist of:
