Sunrise Remembrance Ceremony

The annual 1 October Sunrise Remembrance Ceremony will be held at the Clark County Government Center outdoor amphitheater in downtown Las Vegas. Attendees may wish to bring lawn chairs since limited seating will be available.

Representatives from the Vegas Strong Fund will be in the Rotunda Gallery following the ceremony at Clark County Government Center’s outdoor amphitheater at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, October 1 (in addition to staff from the Resiliency & Justice Center). The Vegas Strong Fund is a local nonprofit group that has been involved with extensive 1 October-related charitable endeavors and was chosen by the Clark County Commission this spring to oversee construction and fundraising efforts to build the Forever One Memorial.

The Rotunda Gallery is hosting the “Remember 1 October” exhibit from September 29 to October 9. The exhibit features a selection of items from the Clark County Museum’s 22,000-piece 1 October collection, including banners, letters, cowboy hats, stuffed animals, and mementos left at the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and other locations as offerings of grief and support following the attack at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on October 1, 2017. The Angels of Love exhibit will also be on display, which was created by a California-based nonprofit as a gift to Clark County and the community. It contains stained-glass angels in remembrance of those who perished and the hundreds who were injured, as well as memorabilia dedicated to first responders who assisted victims.
