Flags of Honor

Flags of Honor is the club's signature project and largest annual fundraiser. For more than a decade, the Rotary Club of Downtown Lock Haven has transformed Triangle Park into a patriotic display of full-sized American flags sponsored by community members and businesses.

The 2026 display marks the 12th annual Flags of Honor and coincides with America's 250th birthday celebration year. This year's extended display is planned from Friday, May 22 through Tuesday, June 16, carrying the tribute from Memorial Day to Flag Day.

Each individual flag may recognize a veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, teacher, mentor, friend, family member, or loved one. The project raises funds for Central Mountain High School scholarships and nonprofits that directly help local people.

Each sponsored flag carries a dedication plaque with the wording requested by the sponsor. Honorees and sponsors are also included in the official booklet and The Express, giving families and friends a lasting record of each tribute.

Recent displays have included more than 150 dedications, with a record 171 dedications in 2025.

A second Flags of Honor radio PSA is scheduled to air on WSQV from May 12 through May 23.
