NEW YORK CITY (BNO NEWS) — The famous “Tribute in Light,” an art installation of dozens of searchlights placed next to the site of the World Trade Center to create two vertical columns of light, will return this year to mark the eight anniversary of the September 11 attacks, officials said on Friday.
The “Tribute in Light”, a tribute to all those who were lost on September 11th as well as those who worked hard to get New York City through its darkest hour, will be on for one night on September 11, beginning at sunset and fading away at dawn on September 12th.
The lights are best seen when it is completely dark. Sunset is expected to occur at 7.11 p.m. local time that night and sunrise is expected to occur at 6.34 a.m. the next morning.
