The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was remembered in local places throughout America and the world on September 11, 2021.  Fishers was one of those communities.

City officials here embedded some of the commemoration into already-scheduled events, such as the weekly Farmers Market and Safety Day.  But faith leaders from throughout the city assembled in a special multi-Faith gathering at the Nickel Plate Amphitheater to speak about how their faith got them through the 9/11 attacks.

Fishers Deputy Mayor Elliott Hultgren spoke at the Multi-Faith event, describing what it was like being a first-year student at the Naval Academy and dealing with 9/11, as well as its aftermath.

Here are a few photos taken at the 9/11 2021 events in Fishers:
