Commemorative Observances

The Town of Flower Mound follows the United States Courts' list of annual heritage months to celebrate these cultural observances in our community.

In the United States, commemorative observance months - also known as heritage months - are periods within the year that are designated to celebrate and acknowledge various ethnic and marginalized groups. These are times not only to celebrate, but also to educate others on various groups’ histories and contributions to American history.
