In remembrance of the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Hot Springs Village will play host to gatherings dedicated to the memory of those lost in those events. September 11th is recognized by the United States as Patriot Day annually as a remembrance of the many lives lost on this date in 2001. 

Hot Springs Village will be celebrating Village Patriot Day (Saturday, September 11th) by presenting a program at Woodlands Auditorium, located in the Ponce De Leon Center, 1101 DeSoto Blvd, Hot Springs Village starting at 2 p.m.. The 90 minute program (along with a 15 minute intermission) will feature local musical groups and videos aimed at remembering and honoring the events that took place 20 years ago. The auditorium will also feature artwork from students of the Jessieville School District in nearby Jessieville, AR. The Hot Springs Community Band will also provide a video that is sure to be a lovely addition to the program. The event is free to the public and there will be opportunities to donate to three separate funds which include the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington,Virginia, Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and 9/11 Museum in New York City, New York. You can get your tickets at https://hotspringsvillage.thundertix.com/ but the event is free.

In an event sponsored by the Hot Springs Village Republican Woman a dinner will be presented the evening of September 11th in Grove Park, 1105 DeSoto Blvd, Hot Springs Village, starting at 4:30 p.m. and ending at 6:30 p.m. Be sure to bring your own chairs to the event.
