A **flag day** is a [flag](/source/Flag)-related holiday, a day designated for flying a certain flag (such as a [national flag](/source/National_flag)) or a day set aside to celebrate a historical event such as a nation's adoption of its flag.

Flag days are usually codified in national [statutes](/source/Statute) passed by [legislative bodies](/source/Legislature) or [parliaments](/source/Parliament); however, in some countries a [decree](/source/Decree) or [proclamation](/source/Proclamation) by the head of state or chief executive can also order a flag day. The statute, or the proclamation or decree, may specify locations where flags are to be flown and how (for example, at full- or [half-staff](/source/Half-staff)); alternatively, custom may prevail.[citation needed] The flag day is naturally a [flag-flying day](/source/Flag-flying_day).
