When is Flag Day on a Wednesday?
The next time Flag Day falls on a Wednesday is Wednesday, June 14, 2028, 630 days from today.
Every year Flag Day falls on a Wednesday
| Year | Date | From now |
|---|---|---|
| 2028 | June 14, 2028 | 1.7 years |
| 2034 | June 14, 2034 | 7.7 years |
| 2045 | June 14, 2045 | 18.7 years |
| 2051 | June 14, 2051 | 24.7 years |
| 2056 | June 14, 2056 | 29.7 years |
| 2062 | June 14, 2062 | 35.7 years |
The gaps between them are not even. A fixed calendar date moves forward one weekday each year and two across a leap year, so the same weekday recurs on a 6, 11, 5, 6, 11 pattern rather than every seven years.
How far apart are they?
The gap between one Wednesday occurrence and the next is 6, then 11, then 6, then 5, then 6 years. That uneven rhythm comes from leap years: a fixed date moves forward one weekday most years but two whenever a 29 February sits in between, so the same weekday returns on an irregular cycle rather than every seven years.
