The city flag of Frankfort, Kentucky is an indigo background with a light blue wave fimbriated in white. Separating the wave is an outlined golden five-pointed star on the fly. It was unanimously adopted by the Frankfort Board of Commissioners on December 9, 2024, and was designed by Amanda Cross.[1]
Symbolism
The blue and gold stars represent the unity of historic Frankfort and modern Frankfort, as well as the new and old capital buildings from the previous flag. The S-bend represents the Kentucky River that flows through downtown, growing larger towards the hoist to symbolize Frankfort's bright future. The colors mirror the Kentucky state flag, just as the old flag did, with the intention that it will look at home flying side by side with it.
