Flag Day is also called National holiday Flag Day in the United States. A day to honor and fly our national flag. The holiday commemorates June 14, 1777, when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.
The idea to set aside a day to honor the national flag came from several sources. Bernard J. Cigrand, a Wisconsin schoolteacher, in 1885 urged his students to observe June 14 as “Flag Birthday.” He later wrote an essay published in a Chicago newspaper that urged Americans to proclaim this date as the day to celebrate the flag. In 1888 William T. Kerr of Pennsylvania founded the American Flag Day Association of Western Pennsylvania, an organization to which he dedicated his life. A lesser-known claim is that of George Morris of Connecticut, who is said to have organized the first formal celebration of the day in Hartford in 1861.
In 1916 Pres. Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as the official date for Flag Day, and in 1949 the U.S. Congress permanently established the date as National Flag Day. Although Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, Pennsylvania celebrates the day as a state holiday. Each year the U.S. president delivers an address that proclaims the week of June 14 as National Flag Week, and all Americans are encouraged to fly U.S. flags during that week.
Join B-17 Alliance on Saturday, June 13, 2026, to honor traditions and our American flag.

Pentacle Theatre presents Rumors by Neil Simon, directed by Robert Barnett. At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden’s Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it’s only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusion and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. On stage June 26 to July 18. Get your tickets here.

Tour the Supreme Court Building
2026-07-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Oregon Supreme Court, 1163 State Street, Salem, 97301, United States
In honor of the America 250 celebration, the Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) will be offering free tours of the historic Supreme Court building in downtown Salem throughout July.
Tours will be held every Tuesday starting July 7 until July 28 from noon to 1 p.m. and are free to join. No need to register in advance — just drop by the Oregon Supreme Court building at 1163 State Street.
“The Supreme Court building has a rich history in Oregon and stands as a powerful symbol of the significance of the Judicial Branch in our government and our communities,” said Meagan A. Flynn, Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court. “By opening our doors to Oregonians, we hope to encourage a deeper appreciation of the importance of civics and the rule of law as we celebrate 250 years of forming a more perfect union.”
Oregon’s Supreme Court building was built in 1914 and remains the oldest continuously operating government building on the Capitol Mall. The building is considered a premier example of Oregon State Architect William C. Knighton’s work in the Beaux Arts style and is included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Anyone entering the building will need to go through a security screening, which includes walking through a metal detector. Tours will be led by law clerks who can explain the outstanding features of the building and answer any questions. Other details, including directions to the building and where to park, can be found on OJD’s website.
These court tours are just one way OJD is honoring America 250. See all the ways OJD is reflecting on the role of the courts by visiting our website: courts.oregon.gov/America-250
