For some, the day will be an opportunity for quiet reflection at one of the memorial services to remember the 1,800 lives lost in the storm, including the city’s “Power of Community” event at the Smoothie King Center. Others might strive to make positive change by participating in one of 100 volunteer projects that make up a citywide day of service.

Some communities will show their solidarity with second-lines and political marches; others, with block parties and picnics.

And for some people, the day simply will be an opportunity to gather their family close, give thanks for having survived the past decade, and enjoy a day of free admission at the Louisiana Children’s Museum or the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Events planned for Saturday are listed below. NOLA.com also offers a full list of Katrina anniversary events (including ongoing exhibits; exhibits are included on this list only if they have special activities scheduled for Saturday). There also is an online calendar for those looking for other activities.
