Erika Kirk, President Trump, and Vice President JD Vance are set to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
Early Sunday morning, thousands began gathering at State Farm Stadium to honor Charlie Kirk, marking what is being referred to as the inaugural state funeral of the MAGA movement.
In addition to Trump and Vance, Kirk’s widow, Erika, who has recently taken on the role of CEO at Turning Point, is also expected to address attendees.
The memorial details were shared by the website FightforCharlie.
Although the doors are scheduled to open at 8:00 AM Mountain Standard Time, many attendees started lining up in the early hours, with the line reportedly stretching far by 4:00 AM.
Initial estimates predicted around 100,000 attendees, a number that is likely to be exceeded. Those unable to enter the stadium will have access to an overflow area outside.
Watch:
