Apply for a Flag Raising
In addition to the flags customarily flown at JFK Plaza, the City of Lowell commemorates flags from many countries during the year.
To schedule a flag raising ceremony at City Hall, please fill out the Flag Raising Application (Solicitud de Izado de Bandera - Spanish). Please note: we are in the process of translating the Flag Raising Application into additional languages.
Please take a moment to review the City of Lowell Flag Raising Policy.
Please be aware that applications will be reviewed on a first come first served basis.
We recommend that you submit the application to the Office of Cultural affairs and Special Events three to four weeks prior to the date of the flag raising. The typical flag size is 3x5 feet.
