Flag flying days in Finland are days of the year when the national flag is flown nationwide, either by law or by custom. The flag of Finland is generally flown only on special occasions to celebrate or honour someone or something. On certain days of the year, the state officially flies the flag, and recommends all private citizens to do so as well; these flag flying days are listed below. Any citizen has a right to fly the flag on their own property if they deem it appropriate, for example, in celebration of birthdays or weddings in the family. Midsummer's Day is additionally celebrated as Flag Day in Finland.
