Since last Sunday's mass shooting at Pulse nightclub, people are looking for ways to mourn. What follows is every memorial and vigil that we know of so far in the Orlando area. 

Please double-check with the organizers of these events, as the City of Orlando has requested to the community that we hold off on large-scale vigils, due to the strain they would put on the stretched-thin police officers, first responders, and other public safety personnel. 

If you are planning an event and would like us to add it here, please email [email protected]
