![Twenty Four Years 💙
Tomorrow marks the 24th anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks, and of the day that changed our lives forever.
Tribute in Light is a commemorative public art installation presented every year from dusk to dawn, on the night of September 11th. It has become an iconic symbol that both honors those lost and celebrates the unbreakable spirit of New York.
The installation consists of twin beams that reach four miles into the sky, and are comprised of 88 7,000-watt xenon light bulbs positioned into two 48-foot squares; echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers.
WHERE: 📍The lights are assembled on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage south of the 9/11 Memorial. The installation can be viewed from a 60-mile radius around lower Manhattan.
WHEN: ⏰ The display will be illuminated from dusk until dawn on the night of September 11. Organizers have been testing the lights this week - they have been on for short time periods several evenings, ahead of the event.
GOOD TO KNOW: 📕The tribute is also extended across the city with over 30 landmarks also lighting up in blue. Participating buildings include the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, the Helmsley Building, the Bank of America Tower, Barclays Bank US Headquarters, One Vanderbilt, and many more.

![Procession of the Ghouls 💀🕷
Welcome to the Procession of the Ghouls, a Halloween parade of monsters, ghouls and demons, to the ghostly sound of organ music.
Tickets are on sale (and they go quick!) grab them now!
The night kicks off with a film screening of a black and white movie (this year: Phantom of the Opera in celebration of the film’s 100 year anniversary), and is accompanied by creepy tunes played on the cathedral’s great organ. After the movie ends, a ghastly group of ghouls and goblins from the Mettawee River Theater Company emerge from the gate, and infiltrate the cathedral in a ghostly parade.
Smoke machines, spooky lighting, and soaring demons, are all mixed with grand puppetry, spectacular costumes and theatrics. It’s a very unique, spooky event - and if you are a fan of halloween theatrics - this must be added to your bucket list.
Heads up: Obviously - this is not for young kids! Great for teens and those who love a good scare.
*************
WHERE: 📍Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
WHEN: ⏰ Two nights: Friday October 24th at 7pm and Saturday October 25th at 7pm.
TICKETS: 🎟️$50 General Admission.
FOR KIDS: 🎈Best for older children/teens. The demons and monsters can be scary, and the black and white movie doesn’t always resonate with young kids.
TIPS: 📕You need to be quick to catch tickets to see the procession! The event only happens two nights a year, and tickets sell quickly.
