About this event
Festa e Flamurit (Albanian Flag and Independence Day) commemorates November 28, 1912, when Ismail Qemali raised the Albanian flag in Vlorë. The Albanian American Islamic Center in Garfield hosts the largest Albanian-American community gathering in northern New Jersey on the holiday, drawing families across Bergen and Passaic counties for traditional food, music, and the Albanian flag-raising. 2026 program details posted to AAIC's site and social channels closer to the date.
