The Avenue of Flags, now in its 38th year, is a stunning display of patriotism and is the largest display of memorial flags in the United States. The flags are flown on both sides of the graveled roads winding through Orange Grove-Graceland Cemetery, on Broad Street in Lake Charles, each Memorial Day and Veterans Day. The flags are raised at sunrise and retired at 4:00 p.m. prior to sunset. Visitors are welcome to tour the Avenue of Flags by either walking alongside the winding, gravel roads, or driving in their vehicles.
