City leaders to take part in local 9/11 tribute

Post Date:September 04, 2026

Officials from eight cities and Denton County will take part in a special 9/11 Walk of Remembrance to mark 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks, on Sunday, Sept. 6, 6:30 p.m.

Officials from Lewisville, Highland Village, and Denton County, carrying American flags, will meet city leaders from Hickory Creek, Corinth, Lake Dallas, Shady Shores, and Denton carrying their own flags, at the midway point of the Lewisville Lake pedestrian bridge for a “virtual handoff” at sunset.

Residents are invited to join this tribute walk. Anyone who wants to join is encouraged to bring an American flag, Texas flag, or U.S. military branch flag to carry across the bridge. Event organizers ask that participants honor the solidarity of the event and not bring political materials, including flags, banners, signs, or clothing.

  • Residents of cities south of the bridge will meet at Doubletree Ranch Park, 310 Highland Village Road, at 6:30 p.m.
  • Residents of cities north of the bridge will meet at Oak Drive and southbound I-35E service road at 6:30 p.m.

The goal is to have each side meet in the middle of the bridge to take a picture at sunset of the “virtual handoff” of the U.S. flag.
