Flag bunting can be displayed during the Fourth of July holiday. Many people will begin displaying it a few days before the holiday and might continue to display it a few days after the holiday. Display your bunting on porches, fences, windows, parade floats or anywhere else that it looks good. Flag bunting is not considered an actual American flag, so it does not need to be taken down at night.
