Governor Walz Orders Flags to Fly at Full-Staff on Inauguration Day

In accordance with an order signed today by President Donald Trump, Governor Tim Walz has ordered all United States and Minnesota flags to fly at full-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota until sunset today, January 20, 2025, in honor of Inauguration Day.

Following Inauguration Day, flags will remain at half-staff at all state buildings in the State of Minnesota until sunset on January 29, 2025, to honor the life and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter.

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are also encouraged to join in lowering their flags..

Flags at Half-Staff

In keeping with appropriate flag etiquette and U.S. Code, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz may order the state flag to be flown at half-staff under very limited circumstances. He may also order the national flag to be flown at half-staff on state property only. A state flag on state property is required by law to be flown at half-staff if the national flag is flown at half-staff.
