Vexiday is not Flag Day

Many countries set aside a day for patriotic activities to honor their national flag.  In Argentina, this is June 20; in Australia, September 3; in Canada, February 15; in the United States, June 14; etc.

World Vexillology Day is different. It’s not about patriotism and it’s not centered on any particular flag.  Rather, it’s a celebration of all flags and an invitation to learn about or otherwise show appreciation for them.
