Other flag days

In case of death of an employee or a City Council member in service, the flags are lowered to half-mast on Laksetorvet on the day of death.

When we receive official visits from abroad and diplomatic visits, we will be flying Dannebrog and the visiting country's national flag on Laksetorvet or at the City Hall.

Requests for flag-raising in addition to the above-mentioned must be sent in writing to the mayor, stating the reason, date of requested flag raising, and requested level (half-mast, full mast, or a combination).
