Flag Day 2025 is expected to be observed with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C. — and hundreds of "No Kings" protests nationwide. Saturday also marks the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. Utah's Army-connected organizations will host an "Army birthday party" at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City.

Flag Day commemorates June 14, 1777—the date the Second Continental Congress adopted the American flag. Thirteen alternating red and white stripes. Thirteen white stars in a blue field. A symbol of unity and rebellion.
