Day where all citizens and public/private organizations hoist the national flag

Parade on [Tajikistan](/source/Tajikistan)'s flag-flying day, November 24

A **flag-flying day** is a day, decreed officially or by tradition, that the [national flag](/source/National_flag) should be hoisted by every [official agency](/source/Government_agency) in the country. Private citizens and corporations are also encouraged to fly the flag, rather than leaving the [flag staff](/source/Flagpole) 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](/source/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](/source/Public_holiday) or other occasions.[1]
