The annual Three Oaks Flag Day celebration will be next weekend. Flag Day Parade coordinator Dyane Thomas tells us this is the largest flag day celebration in the country.

“Flag Day is a national holiday, and this is our 71st year of celebrating it here in Three Oaks,” Thomas said. “We host the nation’s largest Flag Day parade to honor our veterans, our American flag, and to just celebrate patriotism.”

The 71st Three Oaks Flag Day Parade will be held on Sunday, June 11 at 3 p.m. with the route starting at Buckeye Street. It will move south on Elm Street and turn west on Linden Street, ending at the American Legion. Thomas says it will feature a flyover by a World War II era plane. Events surrounding Flag Day will take place Friday through Sunday. They’ll include a 5K, a pet parade, a Quilts of Valor presentation, pancake breakfast, the Flag Day Market, Music in the Park, and fireworks at 10:30 on Saturday.
