The Friends of Paragon Carousel will host its annual Field of Flags ceremony on Sunday, June 14, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on the lawn of the historic Paragon Carousel.

The community event, held in observance of Flag Day, invites residents and visitors to come together to reflect on the history, symbolism, and importance of the American flag while honoring loved ones, veterans, active members of the armed forces, educators, mentors, and community leaders.

As part of the ceremony, patriotic musical selections will be performed by the Paragon Carousel Chorale. Throughout the event, American flags sponsored by community members will be displayed across the carousel lawn, creating a meaningful visual tribute to those being honored.

Community members may sponsor a flag for a $20 donation. Sponsored names will be included in the event program and read aloud during the ceremony, and sponsors may take their flags home following the event. Sponsorship opportunities at the silver, gold, and platinum levels are also available for individuals and organizations wishing to further support the program.

Proceeds from the event directly support the ongoing restoration and preservation efforts of the nearly 100-year-old Paragon Carousel, the last remaining attraction from the historic Paragon Park.

Flags may be purchased online at www.paragoncarousel.com.
