Flag Day

Flag Day opens in theaters on June 12, 2026. The documentary is set in Three Oaks, Michigan, a small farming community that hosts what it calls the nation's largest Flag Day parade. Filmed in an observational, verité style, the picture follows a cross-section of townspeople — veterans, local business owners, marching band members, and volunteers — across a single Flag Day weekend each June. The film's subjects include people whose roles in the parade span generations, and whose stories touch on nostalgia, local identity, and the political tensions present in small-town American life. Rather than staged interviews, the approach relies on unscripted moments of humor, conflict, and everyday grace as the community organizes its defining annual event.
