Greater Danbury Residents Are Invited to 9/11 Gathering

Mayor Mark Boughton will be joined by local officials, and members of the Danbury Fire and Police Departments, on Thursday, September 11, for a brief remembrance gathering.

The Greater Danbury community is invited to join Mayor Boughton at Danbury's 9/11 Memorial on Main Street in Elmwood Park.

The program will begin at 6 p.m.

The Danbury September 11 Memorial, located in the historic Elmwood Park on Main Street, is a twelve-foot tower of glass mounted on a pentagon of Connecticut granite. The front of the tower faces north and is complemented by a backdrop of beautiful plants and the Elmwood Park Christmas tree. The glass tower lines up with the lighted flagpole flying the U.S. flag previously flown over the U.S. Capitol and the 9-11 Memorial Flag. The glass tower is lighted from dusk to dawn.

Flags will be lowered to half-staff on Thursday, September 11, from sunrise to sunset in recognition of Patriot Day and the National Day of Service and Remembrance.
