People who remember Ms Bulley are invited to the bandstand at Queen Elizabeth II Square in South Woodham Ferrers on Thursday at 8 p.m.
Following a three-week search, the 45-year-body old’s was discovered on Sunday in the River Wyre near her home in Lancashire.
In the Essex town, a mural of the mother-of-two has also been painted.
“The community always pulls together at times like this,” Kerry Linehan, who helped organise the gathering, said. We are tomorrow night showing our love and paying our respect to the family.
Ms Linehan also encouraged people to donate to her family’s GoFundMe page, which has so far raised more than £16,000.
Nicola Bulley’s former secondary school expressed its “deepest sympathies” to her family and friends.
The mural was “brilliant,” according to Jon Morter, who runs a local community Facebook page and has shared news of the gathering.
In South Woodham Ferrers, we are a close-knit community, and when things like this happen, we always rally around, and there is always something that will happen,” he said.
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of former William de Ferrers student, Nicola Bulley,” a spokesman for her former secondary school said in a statement.
Our hearts go out to Nicola’s family and friends, many of whom live in our own South Woodham Ferrers community.
The mural, created by local artist Danny Bench, can be found on Hullbridge Road at the town’s One Stop shop.
