The City of Cape Coral invites residents and visitors to honor our nation’s flag at the 2026 Flag Day Celebration. City leaders will mark this patriotic occasion with a ceremony honoring the enduring symbol of our country’s unity and freedom.   The event will take place on Sunday, June 14, at 9 a.m. at the Veterans Memorial Area in Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, 2500 Southeast 24th Street. The event is open to the public, and no reservation is required to attend.   Fuller Metz Funeral Home will be providing a flag drop-off station, allowing residents to respectfully retire any American Flag that is no longer suitable for display.   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.
