Wellesley will hold the annual Flag Day ceremony on Sunday, June 14 at 1pm at Woodlawn Cemetery (148 Brook Street).

The event will take place outdoors and follow current COVID-19 restrictions for social distancing.

Worn and damaged flags from the community and the cemetery will be appropriately retired during a controlled burn by the Wellesley Fire Department. The burning ceremony will also include remarks from local veterans and a salute from the Wellesley Police Department.

Flag Day is American tradition held since 1937 and is the most appropriate way to dispose of American flags.
