Flag Day Celebration

The City of Cape Coral invites residents and visitors to honor our nation’s flag at the 2025 Flag Day Celebration. City leaders will commemorate this patriotic occasion with a special ceremony recognizing the enduring symbol of our country’s unity and freedom.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 14, at 9 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Area in Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, 2500 Southeast 24th Street.

As part of the ceremony, City of Cape Coral Presiding Officer Jennifer Nelson-Lastra, accompanied by Marines from U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting Station Cape Coral, will respectfully retire the American flag currently posted at the park and raise a new one in its place.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson officially established June 14 as Flag Day, a tradition that continues to inspire pride and patriotism across the nation.

All are welcome to attend this meaningful tribute to the Stars and Stripes.
