The Flemish Community Day (Dutch: Feestdag van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap) is an annual holiday held in the Flemish Community of Belgium on 11 July. It is also variously translated as the Day of the Flemish Community, Flemish Community Holiday, Feast Day of the Flemish Community, Festival of the Flemish Community, or other variants.
This date was chosen by the Flemish Community of Belgium to mark the anniversary of the Battle of the Golden Spurs (Dutch: Guldensporenslag) in 1302.[1]
