F.W. Haxel is proud to be the only licensed retailer in Maryland offering official America250™ commemorative flags — just in time for the nation’s most historic birthday celebration in generations.
A 250-Year Milestone Worth Flying
On July 4, 2026, the United States will mark its 250th anniversary — the semiquincentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime milestone that calls for something more than a standard American flag display.
That’s where F.W. Haxel comes in.
As Maryland’s exclusive licensed retailer for official America250™ commemorative flags, we’re offering residents, businesses, municipalities, and institutions the opportunity to fly a piece of history — a flag that marks this extraordinary anniversary with a design crafted specifically for the occasion.
What Is the America250™ Commemorative Flag?
The America250™ flag is the official commemorative flag of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission, the federal body established by Congress to lead the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. The distinctive design features the bold America250™ logo — a ribbon-style numeral set in red, white, and blue — against a deep navy field.
These aren’t novelty items. They are officially licensed, high-quality flags produced by Annin Flagmakers, America’s oldest and largest flag manufacturer. Every flag is authentic, traceable, and tied to the official national celebration.
Available options include:
- Full-size nylon flags in multiple dimensions, suitable for outdoor flagpoles
- Indoor display flags ideal for lobbies, showrooms, and event spaces
- Desk and parade flags — the popular 4″x6″ mini flags perfect for tabletop displays, events, giveaways, and Fourth of July celebrations
- America250™ garden and outdoor banners for residential and commercial display
