November National Days: Flying the World’s Flags

November is one of the busiest months on the world’s calendar of national days. More than a dozen countries mark their independence or national holiday this month. For Denver metro’s many heritage communities, that makes November a natural time to fly a flag. At Flag World Company, we have carried international flags for more than 230 countries since 1989. Our showroom sits at 1270 South Abilene St, Aurora, CO 80012. You can reach our team at 303-623-0589.

So this guide walks through the November national days around the world, the flags that go with them, and how to fly yours the right way through a Colorado winter.

Early November National Days

The month opens with a run of national celebrations. Algeria marks Revolution Day on November 1. Two days later, Panama celebrates its separation from Colombia on November 3, and Dominica marks its independence the same day. Cambodia follows on November 9.

Then November 11 brings two big ones. Angola celebrates its independence, won in 1975. Poland marks its National Independence Day, which restored the country in 1918 after more than a century of partition. The Polish community across the Front Range flies the white-and-red with real pride on that day.

Mid-November National Days

The middle of the month is the heart of these November national days. Latvia leads it off on November 18, celebrating the 1918 proclamation of its republic. Oman marks its National Day the same day, and Morocco celebrates its independence as well. Monaco then follows with its National Day on November 19.

November 22 belongs to Lebanon, which won its independence from French mandate in 1943. Denver’s Lebanese community is a strong one, and the cedar flag is a familiar sight that week.

Late November National Days

The month closes just as busy. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Suriname both mark national days on November 25. Then November 28 brings a cluster: Albania celebrates its 1912 independence, Mauritania its 1960 independence, and Timor-Leste its 1975 proclamation. Panama returns on the 28th too, marking its 1821 independence from Spain.

Finally, the month ends with Barbados on November 30, independent since 1966. From the first of the month to the last, the world flies a lot of flags in November.

International Flags for Every Nation

Whatever flag November calls for, we likely carry it. Flag World Company stocks international flags for more than 230 countries, in indoor and outdoor styles. Our outdoor flags use durable nylon and spun polyester, built to handle Colorado’s sun, wind, and winter.

Not sure which size you need? We organize our international flags by size, so you can match the flag to your pole or display. See our guide to international flags by size for help choosing.

Flying a National Flag Through a Colorado Winter

A national flag follows simple etiquette, and Colorado weather adds one more thing to watch. So here are the basics:

• Material — fly an all-weather nylon or polyester flag outdoors; our winter wind and sun are hard on lighter fabric.
• Timing — display from sunrise to sunset, or light the flag to fly around the clock.
• Condition — retire and replace a faded or frayed flag rather than flying it worn.

Snow and wind wear a flag faster, so an outdoor-grade flag is worth it for a winter display.

Heritage Gifts and Smaller Displays

Not every celebration needs a full-size flag. For heritage gifts and indoor displays, we carry smaller pieces too. Our range includes country lapel pins, patches, and desk and stick flags. These make easy gifts for a national day, and they suit a classroom, office, or mantel.

Custom and Bulk Flags for Events

Hosting a national day event, a cultural festival, or a heritage display? We produce custom flags and banners in-house, and we fill bulk international orders for schools, clubs, and community groups. So a cultural association ordering a set of flags, or a school marking a heritage week, can start in one place.

A Series That Runs All Year

These November national days are one stop on a year-round calendar. Last month we covered the world flags of October’s national days, and our world independence day flags guide gathers the bigger picture. Every month brings another set of nations to celebrate.

November National Days — Common Questions

Which countries have national days in November?

Many do. Among them are Algeria (Nov 1), Panama (Nov 3 and Nov 28), Dominica (Nov 3), Cambodia (Nov 9), Angola and Poland (Nov 11), Latvia, Oman, and Morocco (Nov 18), Monaco (Nov 19), Lebanon (Nov 22), Bosnia and Suriname (Nov 25), Albania, Mauritania, and Timor-Leste (Nov 28), and Barbados (Nov 30).

Do you carry flags for all of these countries?

Yes. We stock international flags for more than 230 countries, in indoor and outdoor styles. If you do not see a country or size online, call 303-623-0589 and we will track it down.

What flag should I fly outdoors in winter?

Choose an all-weather nylon or spun polyester flag. Both hold up to Colorado’s winter wind and sun far better than lighter indoor fabric. See our international flags by size guide to match the flag to your pole.

Yes. We produce custom flags and banners in-house and fill bulk orders for schools, clubs, and community groups. Request a quote and our team will help you plan it.
