Flags Over Manteca is the Manteca Chamber of Commerce signature event. It was born out of the attack on the World Trade Center September 11, 2001. In 2002 the Chamber along with the City of Manteca raised $60,000.00 to have 2400 holes drilled and flags monogrammed and hardware made so flags could be placed out on holidays. Flags are sponsored by individuals or businesses and monogramming is placed on the edge of the flag. The Flags are placed out by volunteers on the following dates:
- January: Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday 1/15/24)
- February: Presidents Day (Monday 2/19/24)
- May: Armed Forces Day (Saturday 5/18/24)
- May: Memorial Day (Monday 5/27/24)
- June: Flag Day (Friday 6/14/24)
- June: Juneteenth (Wednesday 6/19/24) To be observed in 2025.
- July: Independence Day (Thursday 7/4/24)
- September: Labor Day (Monday 9/2/24)
- September: Patriot Day (Wednesday 9/11/24)
- November: Veterans Day (Monday 11/11/24)
- December: Pearl Harbor Day (Saturday 12/7/24)
