About this event
On November 28, 2026, the Massachusetts Albanian American Society 'Besa' leads the annual Albanian Flag Day (Festa e Flamurit) observance at Boston City Hall Plaza, marking the 114th anniversary of Albania's 1912 declaration of independence in Vlorë. The ceremony — a multi-year MAAS Besa tradition — typically includes a flag-raising on City Hall Plaza, remarks from city officials and community leaders, the Albanian and U.S. national anthems, and a reception with Bashkimi Dance Group performances. Open to all members of the Greater Boston Albanian-American community and friends.
