The 9/11—Hayward Remembers and Honors Vigil will take place at the new Heritage Plaza located across Mission Boulevard from the Hayward 9/11 Memorial and across C Street from the downtown Hayward Public Library.
 
Community members are invited to gather starting at 6:30 PM and walk the Plaza, leaving mementos and messages at any of the memorial stations that will be placed throughout the Plaza to honor those who were killed, first-responders, veterans, and friends, family and loved ones here and abroad.
 
The candlelight vigil will begin with a moment of silence at sundown at 7:21 p.m. in the southeast corner of the Plaza across Mission Boulevard from the Hayward 9/11 Memorial.
 
Battery-powered tealight candles will be provided while supplies last, and social distancing and other COVID-19 safety measures will be observed and encouraged.
