Flag Day (2026)

In the small agricultural town of Three Oaks, Michigan—famous for hosting the biggest Flag Day parade in the country—FLAG DAY offers an unfiltered, documentary-style look at tradition, identity, and togetherness during a time of deep political divides. Caught between old customs and new realities, this close-knit village turns its annual parade into a vivid showcase of American dreams and memories. Over the course of Flag Day weekend, the camera follows a broad mix of local residents: veterans, shopkeepers, marching bands, and dedicated volunteers who, for one weekend every June, bring to life an event that feels both steeped in nostalgia and charged with today’s tensions. Their personal stories highlight the strength and vulnerability of community bonds in an age of polarization. Shot in an observational, fly-on-the-wall style, FLAG DAY captures humor, friction, and quiet grace as the town prepares for its most meaningful tradition.
