In a statement, Macclesfield pride said: "The intention for this event is to hold a vigil for a member of our community and mourn together.
"There will be a few speakers who may read poetry or make speeches, but mostly this is a time for us to hold space and try to heal from the pain that Brianna's murder has caused.
"All are welcome, we ask only that you are respectful."
The 16-year-old was killed in Culcheth Linear Park in Culcheth, Warrington. Two teenagers are currently in police custody.
Ghey was transgender.
Macclesfield Pride added: "Bright coloured clothing suggested, but wear what makes you comfortable."
"Individuals may bring candles if they feel so inclined, but they will not be provided on this occasion.
"Sparrow Park is at the top of the 108 Steps, tucked behind St Michael's church yard. — in Macclesfield."
The local vigil follows one at Cheshire East HQ in Sandbach, on Saturday.
