Washington County Government is set to host a community Flag Day Ceremony on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at the Washington County Public Safety Training Center in Hagerstown. The event, which begins at 10:00 a.m., aims to bring residents together to recognize the historical significance and enduring symbolism of the American flag. This observance occurs annually on June 14th, marking the anniversary of the Continental Congress’s adoption of the U.S. flag in 1777.
The original flag, as established by Congress, featured thirteen alternating red and white stripes and thirteen stars on a blue field, symbolizing the nascent United States. Over the centuries, the flag’s design has been updated to reflect the nation’s expansion, yet it has consistently served as a potent emblem of unity, liberty, and the sacrifices made for these ideals. This year’s celebration also holds particular resonance as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary of independence, and Washington County acknowledges its own extensive history.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The ceremony provides an opportunity for residents to gather and reflect on the shared heritage represented by the flag. Organizers are encouraging attendees to join in honoring the nation’s past, celebrating collective traditions, and contemplating the foundational principles that continue to shape the country’s future. The event will take place at 18350 Public Safety Place, Hagerstown, MD 21740.
