Charlie Kirk Sculpture Unveiled In Times Square On Anniversary Of Kirk’s Assassination In NYC

Charlie Kirk supporters gather in Times Square in New York, on September 10, 2026, on the anniversary of Kirk’s assassination, as a sculpture of Kirk is unveiled despite disapproval by the city.

Clashes broke out in New York City’s Times Square on Thursday following the unveiling of a temporary statue commemorating conservative activist Charlie Kirk on the first anniversary of his assassination.

Showed supporters and protesters confronting each other near the statue, with several people pushing and shoving, some falling to the ground and objects being thrown as police officers stood nearby.

Tensions escalated as a march led by Jake Lang moved through Times Square, drawing both supporters and protesters to the area.

The 6-foot-5 statue was created by sculptor Sergio Furnari at a reported cost of $100,000. Furnari said he hoped the installation would encourage debate in memory of Kirk.

Sculptor Sergio Furnari unveiled the cast-metal figure, depicting Kirk holding a microphone and wearing clothing marked ‘FREEDOM’. Furnari described the work as a statement about free speech.

Kirk, 31, the founder of Turning Point USA and an ally of US President Donald Trump, was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Sept. 10, 2025.

Tyler Robinson, 23, is accused of shooting Kirk from a rooftop overlooking the event. He faces an aggravated murder charge and additional charges and has not entered a plea.

The statue of Kirk was  unveiled in New York City’s Times Square on Sept. 10 at 2:33 p.m. to mark the one-year anniversary — down to the minute — of the conservative activist’s assassination.

Hundreds of people were in attendance at Times Square, shouting and protesting about Charlie Kirk, and there were also some supporters of Charlie kirk.

About Charlie Kirk: Charles James Kirk was an American right-wing political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co‑founded the conservative student organization Turning Point USA in 2012 and served as its executive director until his assassination in 2025.

Bolivian Day Parade Queens -2026

Once a year, the Bolivian Day Parade fills 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens with elaborate costumes, live bands, and folk dance ensembles carrying centuries of Andean and Bolivian tradition down the street in full color.

Celebrates Bolivian heritage in folk dance, music, and dress Indigenous, Spanish colonial, and African roots.

With Japanese and Lebanese migrant influences at 37th Avenue | 69th to 89th St
Jackson Heights, Queens Sun, August 16, 2026 , 12:00pm to 3:00pm and its free to attend.

The Bolivian Day Parade runs along 37th Avenue between 69th Street and 89th Street, cutting straight through the heart of Jackson Heights, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City.

The parade is a showcase for Bolivia’s folk dance tradition, a living record of the country’s Indigenous, Spanish colonial, and African influences.

Dancers typically perform in the elaborate costumes associated with dances like Caporales, Diablada, Morenada, Tinku, and Tobas, each with its own rhythm, story, and regional roots in Bolivia.

Look for some Cholitas, women from the Andean highlands, who wear traditional polleras (multi-layered skirts), colorful woven mantas or aquayos (shawls), and bombines (bowler hats).

Listen for rhythms of the Charango, small Andean guitar (traditionally made from armadillo shells), and melodies from zampoñas or quenas pan and wooden flutes (often heard in New York subways and squares).

Marching bands, community organizations, and dance academies from across the New York area take part, turning the avenue into a multi-hour procession of music and movement.

It’s a rare chance to see Bolivian culture presented on its own terms, in a neighborhood where that culture lives year-round.

Bolivia takes its folk dancing seriously, including causing diplomatic incidents with Peru or Chile for what Bolivians consider to be cultural appropriation without recognition.

It’s an unfortunate legacy of colonial borders which divided the same people, but the point is that Bolivians take their dancing seriously.

Carnaval de Oruro and Fiesta del Gran Poder are some of the world’s most vibrant cultural festivals. They blend Catholic and Indigenous spiritual beliefs.

It was our first time covering the Blolivan day parade, in Jackson heights, Queens. It was very colorful many folklore dancers dressed, ready to March and dance in the parade.

Close 3-4 thousand people were in attendance enjoying the festivities, dancers and Bolivian culture.

Many people marching in the parade, came as far as North Carolina, Virgina and beyond. Many community based organizations marched in the parade.

The Bolivian Day Parade is the biggest Bolivian cultural event in NYC, centered in Jackson Heights along 37th Avenue.

It draws Bolivians and Bolivian Americans from across the East Coast for traditional dances, costumes, and music.

Past parades have started at noon and run with live entertainment and food nearby at different places
