Remembrance vs remember
Do all 3 sentences mean the same thing?
Is the first sentence natural?
What is the difference between 2 and 3?
What will be the remembrance of the year?
What will people remember this year?
What will people remember about this year?
Thanks

I've kept a box of things that he gave me - ticket stubs, stuffed animals, photos, etc.

0Sentence 1 is grammatical, but not typical English usage.
Sentence 2 and 3 are slightly different. Sentence 3 asks what people will remember about what happened this specific year, while Sentence 2 asks what people will remember generally, not limited to this year. The word "about" makes the difference.
