Why Is Flag Day Celebrated , How To Celebrate Flag Day. The history of Flag Day celebration goes back to June 14, 1777 when for the first time the American flag was acknowledged by the Continental Congress. Flag Day celebration thereafter continued for nearly two hundred years by flying flags on the top of public buildings and by commemorating the event in various cities.
Flag Day, though not a federal holiday, is full of tradition. The holiday was established in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson, and in 1949 Congress declared June 14 a national holiday. Pennsylvania is the only state that observes Flag Day as a state holiday, according to the History Channel. But others host parades and parties in the flag's honor -- just as Wilson intended. Bernard J. Cigrand is considered the father of Flag Day.
