The twin beams will begin at sunset on Wednesday, September 11th, and shine brightly until sunrise on September 12th.
The soaring blue beams will be visible from many points in the five boroughs, radiating from the area where the Twin Towers once stood. The lights themselves are located at West and Morris Streets, and create an ephemeral representation of the original towers in celestial blue light. For the past 11 years, the lights have been a somber but tasteful reminder of that fateful day in 2001.
Recently, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum adopted Tribute in Light, maintaining its funding so that it may be seen in an informal program each anniversary.
