Happy New Year! 2026 is here, and so is our 2026 Flag Flying Calendar. While you should fly your flag proudly everyday, below are dates you should fly your flag if you only fly it on special occasions. There are five days you should fly your flag at half staff throughout 2026. We have those listed below as well. It was a quiet year of Presidential or Governor mandated half-staff days, which means there were not a lot of tragedy’s happening in the US. To keep up on the status of the flag, full-staff or half-staff, visit our page here.
This is a special year for America. It is the semiquincentennial, 250 years since America was established.
