The Patriotic Retail Calendar: When State Souvenirs Sell Best

Oct 26, 2026 · 2 min read

Plan orders around the dates when Americans celebrate their flag and their state.

Memorial Day opens the season

Memorial Day, on the last Monday of May, marks the start of the summer travel season. Have your full state assortment in place before it.

Flag Day and Independence Day

Flag Day falls on June 14 and Independence Day on July 4. These weeks bring the highest interest in flag products of all kinds, so plan your summer order early.

Veterans Day and the holidays

Veterans Day on November 11 is a good moment for seal tie clips and cufflinks as gifts, and it leads straight into holiday gift shopping.

Statehood anniversaries

Every state has its own admission day. Ohio joined the Union in 1803, Florida in 1845, Texas in 1845 and Hawaii in 1959, the last of the fifty. A small display for your state’s anniversary gives locals a reason to visit.
