Notice: Flag Removal for Repair, Due to an unexpected tear in the 150’ x 300’ American flag, we will be removing the flag for repairs on the evening of June 9. At this time, we do not have an estimate of when the repair will be completed. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to restore the flag to its full glory. Please note that the nightly light show will continue as scheduled.
The patriotic lighting display will continue nightly through July 4, illuminating Hoover Dam and the surrounding canyon walls starting at dusk. To better accommodate visitors, the top-of-dam and Memorial Bridge walkways will remain open until 10 p.m. each night.
The flag will be lowered in response to high wind conditions when necessary. The Hoover Dam website and Facebook pages will be updated when flag status changes. Thank you for your patience and support!
