Mourners gathered in Niagara Falls on Sunday to pay their respects to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA CEO who was assassinated in Utah on September 10th. The local vigil and bridge walk connected participants in Western New York with Canadians also mourning his death, serving as one of many tributes held nationwide.


Organizers explained that the event provided an opportunity for those unable to travel to Kirk’s funeral in Arizona to honor him closer to home. The ceremony emphasized unity, remembrance, and carrying forward Kirk’s legacy with participants describing the gathering as a moment for reflection beyond political divisions.



The evening began with a vigil and later continued with a walk across the Rainbow Bridge. Many attendees said the tribute was not only about grieving but also about drawing inspiration from Kirk’s message of hope and faith.


Across the United States, memorial events for Kirk have drawn thousands including his funeral in Arizona, which featured appearances by national leaders. Locally, the Niagara Falls gathering followed several other Western New York events. A memorial was held earlier in the week at Niagara Square, hosted by The Constitutional Coalition of NYS, and another candlelight vigil took place at Gratwick Park in North Tonawanda on September 14th.



Kirk’s memory was also honored at Highmark Stadium where images of the conservative youth organizer were displayed on a large video screen ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Miami Dolphins. NFL teams across the league have also recognized him during recent matchups.
