The public memorial service for Charlie Kirk at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, ran for several hours, roughly spanning the late morning into the mid-to-late afternoon local time.

Key timing details

  • Doors opened for attendees around early morning (about 8 a.m. local time) to allow security screening and seating.
  • The formal program, including speeches and tributes, was scheduled to begin late morning (around 11 a.m. local time).
  • With more than two dozen speakers, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Erika Kirk, and other officials and allies, the sequence of tributes and musical elements meant the memorial itself effectively lasted several hours rather than a short, single-ceremony window.

In practice, many attendees were on site for much of the day, between early arrival, security, the full speaking program, and departure from a stadium crowd expected in the tens of thousands.
