Flag flying day

A flag flying day is a day, decreed officially or by tradition, that the national flag should be hoisted by every official agency in the country. Private citizens and corporations are also encouraged to fly the flag, rather than leaving the flag staff empty or flying family or corporate flags.^[1][2] Flag flying days may also be observed for some provincial flags.

Flag flying days are different from Flag Day holidays that celebrate the flag itself and are usually held just one day per year. Flag flying days normally occur multiple times each year to celebrate national holidays or other occasions.^[1]
