LEONARDTOWN, MD – The Commissioners of St. Mary’s County (CSMC) are pleased to invite the entire community to attend the annual Flag Day Celebration on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 6 p.m. Due to risk of thunderstorms and lightning during the scheduled event time, the program has been relocated indoors for the safety of all participants and attendees.
