Christina Grimmie’s family and friends are putting her name back at the center of the room this June, with the first-ever Grimmie Fest set for June 5 to June 7 in her honor. The three-day event comes 10 years after the singer was shot outside the Plaza Live theater in Orlando, a death that cut short a career still rising and a life her family says should be remembered for more than the way it ended.

The timing is the reason fans are searching now. Grimmie was 22 when she died from her injuries on June 10, 2016, after performing with the band Before You Exit. Her killing became one of the most painful memories for the people who followed her from season 6 of The Voice and from her years building an online audience that saw her as a rare kind of talent.

The Christina Grimmie Foundation, founded by Albert Grimmie in 2016, is hosting the event as both a tribute and a fundraiser tied to its mission of helping victims of gun violence. Grimmie Fest will include a fan meet-up and a benefit concert headlined by The Living Tombstone, the band Marcus Grimmie manages. The family’s aim is plain: as Albert Grimmie has said, they want Christina to be remembered for the person and artist she was, not just the tragedy.

That is what gives the weekend its force, and its unease. Grimmie Fest is built to celebrate a singer whose supporters still describe as warm and singular, but it is inseparable from the shooting that made her name a headline. Danielle Hendrix was outside the Plaza Live after the show when she heard a loud bang and later broke down sobbing in her car, a reminder of how one night in Orlando still shadows every effort to honor Grimmie.

The foundation has not said how many people it expects, or laid out every program beyond the meet-up and concert. What is clear is that the first Grimmie Fest is meant to do something the family has wanted for years: give fans a place to grieve, remember, and support a cause tied to the loss. Ten years on, that is the story they are choosing to tell.
