The first ceremonial raising of theyellow-and-blue Ukrainian flagin modern times took place on 24 July 1990 at the flagstaff of the City Council, two years before the flag was officially adopted as theNational flagof the Ukrainian state (1992).[10]24 July was later marked asNational Flag Dayin Kyiv (only).[10]Beginning with 2004, 23 August is celebrated as the Day of the National Flag (in all Ukraine).[11][10]
