    Flag Day is celebrated on June 14th to commemorate the adoption of the American flag in 1777, though it is not a federal holiday so most businesses remain open. On this day, people proudly display the flag in front of their homes and businesses, and some civic groups hold flag ceremonies with patriotic music. The flag is to be raised quickly and lowered slowly when flown, and should never touch the ground or be thrown out when retired, instead being properly burned.

    Flag Day

    Read Aloud Activity

    Flag Day is on June 14.


    It is a holiday to celebrate
    the adoption of the
    American Flag in 1777.
    Flag Day is not a
    federal holiday, so schools, banks,
    and government offices are open.
    On Flag Day, people display the
    American flag. They fly the flag in
    front of their houses or businesses.
    Some civic organizations have
    special flag ceremonies with patriotic
    music.
    When the American flag is
    displayed on a flag pole, it should be
    raised quickly and lowered slowly. It
    should never be allowed to touch the
    ground. When it gets old, it should
    be burned, not thrown out.
