The original national flag of Peru was displayed for the first time in the Plaza Mayor of Lima, on July 28, 1821, at the time of the proclamation of independence by General José de San Martín. The design of this first flag was different from the current one, and only its colors have been maintained. The Peruvian army has used the national flag since 1821 to differentiate itself from other military forces. The current flag was established on February 25, 1825, during the government of Simón Bolívar.
On June 7, the Day of the Flag is celebrated, in commemoration of the anniversary of the battle of Arica; and on August 28 the Procession of the Flag, in the city of Tacna.
