Evening Flag Change

Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine

  • Every week on Sunday and Saturday at 4:00 PM from September 07, 2024 to June 01, 2025
  • Fees apply

Fort McHenry is the first site to receive a presidential proclimation requiring that the site fly a flag 24/7, 365 days a year. Join park staff in the mornings or evenings as we change out our flags for the day and learn about the flag's significance to the park's history. Flag change programs occure daily. In the mornings the park raises a larger replica of a historic flag and in the evenings an overnight all-weather flag is raised over the fort. 


*Flag changes are weather dependent.
