Join us as the Huntley community comes together to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, and honor the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the first responders who answered the call.

The remembrance ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 11, at Huntley Town Square and will include remarks from community leaders, traditional observances, and a moment of silence honoring those lost on September 11, 2001.

We invite our community to join us as we remember and honor those we lost 25 years ago.

In the event of rain, the ceremony will move to Huntley Fire Protection District Station 1, 11118 Main Street.
