A flag-flying day is a day, decreed officially or by tradition, that the national flag should be hoisted by every official agency in the country. Private citizens and corporations are also encouraged to fly the flag, rather than leaving the flag staff empty or flying family or corporate flags.[https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us_days.html FLAGS OF THE WORLD: Flag flying days (U.S.)][https://riksarkivet.se/flaggdagar RIKSARKIVET: Flaggdagar (in Swedish)] Flag-flying days may also be observed for some provincial flags.

Flag-flying days are different from Flag Day holidays that celebrate the flag itself and are usually held just one day per year. Flag-flying days normally occur multiple times each year to celebrate national holidays or other occasions.
