The 2026 NC World Day of Remembrance will be held at Center City Park on Friday, November 13, 2026 at 10 am. ITRE is partnering with the City of Greensboro and the NC Families for Safe Streets to host the 8th annual memorial exhibit.



The exhibit will feature pairs of shoes to represent the 1,524 people killed on North Carolina roads last year. A press event at 10:00 am will honor North Carolina crash victims and feature remarks from transportation leadership.

How to Participate

All are welcome to the shoe memorial exhibit and press event. We invite everyone to wear the color yellow, the official color of the global World Day of Remembrance.

If you have been seriously injured in a crash or would like to honor a lost loved one, you are also invited to share your story or contribute a photo to the event.

Please reach out to [email protected] if you would like to dedicate a pair of shoes to a loved one, share your story, or contribute a photo.
