September 22, 2025 — Daytona Beach, FL
Supporters of conservative activist Charlie Kirk gathered in massive numbers on Sunday to honor his legacy following his recent death. The farewell event, held at the Daytona International Speedway, drew an estimated 100,000 attendees, with overflow areas reportedly filled to capacity. Millions more tuned in via livestream and televised coverage across major networks and social media platforms.
The event featured tributes from political leaders, faith-based organizations, and conservative media figures. Former President Donald Trump delivered a pre-recorded message praising Kirk’s “unwavering commitment to American values,” while Turning Point USA co-founder Candace Owens led a moment of silence.
Kirk, who rose to national prominence as a youth conservative leader and founder of Turning Point USA, was known for his outspoken views on education, culture, and politics. His sudden death earlier this month sparked an outpouring of grief and reflection from supporters and critics alike.
Security was heightened throughout the venue, with local law enforcement and private teams coordinating crowd control and traffic management. Despite the scale of the event, officials reported no major incidents.
Organizers described the farewell as “a celebration of Charlie’s mission to awaken a generation,” and announced plans to launch a scholarship fund in his name aimed at supporting young conservative students.
