Tribute in Light

Tribute in Light is an annual art installation that displays two powerful beams of light in the shape of the Twin Towers, commemorating the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Created by illuminating high-intensity xenon spotlights, the beams shine vertically into the sky from ground level in New York City. The display serves as a poignant reminder of the lives lost and the resilience of the city, using light as a symbol of remembrance and hope. It typically runs for several weeks around the anniversary, drawing millions of viewers and paying tribute to the victims and heroes of that day.
