Lafayette will mark the 24th anniversary of September 11 with remembrance, service, and a pair of highly visible events that could draw some very familiar faces. Here’s what to know for September 11, 2025.

Black Hawk landing at Moncus Park

A Louisiana National Guard Black Hawk helicopter is scheduled to land at Moncus Park at 9:00 a.m. and remain on public display until noon. The landing accompanies Red Lerille’s Great American 9/11 Pickleball Challenge next door.

Organizers say law enforcement and the Guard will coordinate the static display; special guests may include notable Louisiana sports figures.
