Nearly 100 US flags are raised along La Cañada Drive between Esperanza Boulevard and Continental Road.
The flags fly from dawn to dusk on Patriotic Holidays and the observance of other federal anniversaries. Raising flags on patriotic holidays in Green Valley began in 1991 with the issuance of a license to the American Legion Green Valley Chapter, Post No. 66, by the Pima County Board of Supervisors.
Upcoming Schedule
These celebrations are made possible through the dedication of the Sheriff’s Auxiliary Volunteers, who ensure safety each holiday, and the invaluable support of our community partners.
Financial support is always welcome to help defray the cost to replace flags, poles, and storage tubes.
