The flag of Brazil will fly from Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow, Thursday 7 September, in recognition of the Brazilian National Day. The flag will be flown from 6:30am until 6:30pm.

Transit considers requests from nations wanting to commemorate their country's national days. Recently the Slovak Republic, Malaysian and Uruguayan flags have all flown on the bridge.
