Flag Day


Flag Day

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14, commemorating the adoption of the flag of the United States in 1777 by the Second Continental Congress. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation to officially establish June 14; in 1949, Congress established National Flag Day. Earliest observances of Flag Day date back to 1861 in Hartford, Connecticut. While it is not an official Federal Holiday, it is recognized by Pennsylvania as a state holiday. Pennsylvania's celebrations are held at the Betsy Ross House.
