As we approach April 19, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum prepares to honor those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever by the events of April 19, 1995. This year marks the 31st Annual Remembrance Ceremony, a solemn day dedicated to reflection, healing, and community resilience.
Seating opens at 8:30am and the ceremony will begin at 8:45am.
Memorial Museum
On April 19, the Museum will be open exclusively to family members, survivors, and first responders. This reserved access ensures a quiet, respectful environment for those most directly affected by the tragedy to gather, reflect, and remember.
The day before the ceremony, on April 18, the Memorial and Museum hosts Cox Community Day, offering free admission for all visitors. This special day provides an opportunity for the broader community to learn, reflect, and engage with our history and mission.
Cox Community Day encourages families, students, and visitors from across the region to explore the exhibits, understand the impact of the bombing, and witness the powerful message of resilience and hope that guides the Memorial’s work.
