Each year on April 15, the city of Boston remembers the victims with a memorial ceremony on Boylston Street, a moment of silence and volunteer events to symbolize the strength and the unity of Boston.

On April 15, 2013, two bombs exploded at two different locations on Boylston Street near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people - eight-year-old Martin Richard, 23-year-old Lingzi Lu, and 29-year-old Krystle Campbell.
