Flags across the United States are at half‑staff today (August 26, 2026) as part of a national order honoring Dolly Part
Current National Half‑Staff Reason
A nationwide presidential proclamation has ordered all U.S. flags to half‑staff August 25 – September 1, 2026 in honor of Dolly Parton, following her passing.
Multiple flag‑status trackers confirm that U.S. flags are currently at half‑staff nationally for this reason.
How Half‑Staff Orders Work
National orders come from the President.
State‑specific orders may also be issued by governors for local figures or events.
When ordered, flags are raised to the peak briefly, then lowered to half‑staff for the duration of the proclamation.
Some states may have additional half‑staff orders for local honorees, but the nationwide order for Dolly Parton is the reason flags are lowered across the entire country today.
Flag‑status resources confirm no other conflicting national orders are active.
This national half‑staff period reflects a formal gesture of respect and remembrance for Dolly Parton.
