Several officials will be speaking at the remembrance ceremony, including Surfside Mayor Shlomo Danzinger and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins.
As part of the ceremony, all 98 names of those who were killed in the collapse will be read.
The ceremony will begin at 10.
Investigators on Monday released their technical findings on what caused the building to collapse.
In an hour and seventeen-minute video released Monday, the lead investigators from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Construction Safety Team explained how it began in early June, just weeks before the collapse on June 24, 2021, when two connections between garage columns and the pool deck failed.

A year after the collapse, a judge gave final approval to a settlement topping $1 billion for the victims, and in 2022, attorneys said that the victims will share over $1 billion in recovery funds.
The site of the collapse was then acquired by DAMAC International, a Dubai-based developer, which announced construction for The Delmore, a project comprising 37 “mansions in the sky.”
The Delmore is expected to be completed by 2029, and according to Zillow, there are four units available to buy, ranging from $15 million to $40 million.
