The full Utah Valley calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:

1. 2026 Flag Day Ceremony

Provo Veterans Memorial Park, June 15, 7 p.m.

The symbol known as “Old Glory” may mean different things to different people but it gets its own holiday every June 14. Take a moment to reflect on the Stars and Stripes in Provo during a special ceremony on Monday. The Freedom Festival website says: “America Runs on Dedication, Sacrifices and Everyday Heroes. The Constitution was written for every citizen that claims to be American. The United States of America’s Flag is the emblem of the values of Freedom, Liberty and Peace through strength. Our Flag represents to the world that the United States of America has their backs and we will always defend tyranny at all costs. The one-hour program will feature Utah County Sheriff, Mike Smith recipient of the Utah Department of Utah, “American Legion Officer of the Year.” A presentation from one of our Freedom Festival Youth Speech Contest recipients, A short presentation from Utah State Sober Riders and a short Retirement of our National Colors.”
