On September 12, 2026 at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, the NYPD Pipes & Drums of the Emerald Society will present a powerful evening of music, remembrance, and tribute to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of September 11th.
For a quarter century, the NYPD Pipes & Drums have played a vital role in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless first responders who answered the call that day and in the years that followed. The sound of bagpipes has become synonymous with remembrance, sacrifice, and resilience throughout New York City and beyond.
Founded in 1960, the NYPD Pipes & Drums is recognized as the original police pipe band in the United States and remains one of the most respected law enforcement pipe bands in the world. For decades, the band has represented the traditions, pride, and service of the New York City Police Department while honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Since 2001, the band has participated in memorial services, processions, and ceremonies dedicated to preserving the memory of the victims, first responders, and recovery workers whose lives were forever changed by that day. The annual memorial events organized by the NYPD Pipes & Drums have become cherished traditions, bringing together police officers, firefighters, military personnel, families, and community members in a shared act of remembrance.
The concert serves not only as a tribute to those lost on September 11th, but also as a celebration of the enduring strength, unity, and spirit that emerged in its aftermath.
Whether you have a personal connection to 9/11, a deep appreciation for the traditions of pipes and drums or Irish music, or simply wish to honor those who served, this special event promises to be a meaningful and unforgettable experience.
