Tempe Healing Field at Tempe Beach Park

Event Summary

Tempe Exchange Club will host the Annual Tempe Healing Field for the Greater Phoenix community from Sept. 7 to 11 at Tempe Beach Park. This inspiring formation of U.S. flags will, as in years past, honors the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that the mature may remember and that youth may learn. The magnitude of loss will be represented by an uplifting display of the Stars and Stripes, which creates an inspiring and memorable experience for volunteers and visitors alike.

All are invited to walk through the ordered rows of flags posted at Tempe Beach Park. Visiting the field is an experience never to be forgotten, and each year the event offers many opportunities for sponsors, volunteers and visitors to experience an indescribable tribute.
