Commemorations for the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks began across Idaho on September 10, 2026, as reported by newsradio1310.com. Communities in Twin Falls and Jerome counties organized events to honor victims and first responders.
In Twin Falls, musical performances took place near the Visitor Center by the Perrine Bridge on Thursday evening. A flag walk commenced at 5:00 p.m., leading into the main ceremony scheduled for Friday night at the same location starting at 5:30 p.m. Former New York City Fire Department Battalion Chief John LaBarbera was set to deliver the keynote address during the Friday proceedings.
A large flag remained displayed over the Snake River Canyon throughout Patriot Week. Previous memorials at the Perrine Bridge have featured flyovers by historical aircraft, including a P-51 Mustang, adding an aerial tribute to the ground-level ceremonies.
Ceremonies in Jerome County
Jerome County held its own observances at Crossroads Point off Highway 93. Volunteers and students planted thousands of flags at the site on September 9. The display was illuminated after sunset, creating a visual tribute visible from the highway.
The events reflect a broader regional effort to remember the attacks that occurred 25 years ago. Local organizers coordinated with state and national partners to ensure the ceremonies honored those who lost their lives and those who responded to the crisis.
