The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum will once again gather the community in reflection and remembrance on Sunday, April 19, marking 31 years since the 1995 bombing that forever changed the city.
The annual Remembrance Ceremony honors the 168 people who were killed, as well as the survivors and countless others whose lives were impacted by the tragedy. A central moment of the morning will be the 168 Seconds of Silence, a powerful tribute marking each life lost.
This year’s ceremony will also feature music from acclaimed singer-songwriter Blessing Offor, along with the traditional reading of the 168 names — a solemn roll call that remains one of the event’s most moving elements.
Seating for the ceremony opens at 8:30 a.m., with the program beginning at 8:45 a.m. The event is free and open to the public, continuing a long-standing tradition of remembrance, resilience, and community in Oklahoma City.
In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will move indoors to First Methodist Church at the corner of 5th and Robinson. The Memorial Museum will be closed on Sunday.
