Flag Description: The flag consists of a vertically divided field with two equal vertical stripes: red on the left side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter) and green on the right side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic sinister). The town's coat of arms is centered on the flag. The shield features a silver (white) pall (Y-shaped fork). In the upper red field stands a golden lion holding a double cross in its right paw and a star in its left paw. The two lower green fields each contain a golden ear of wheat.

Symbolism: The red and green colors of the flag align with Hungarian national and regional symbolism. The golden lion holding a patriarchal cross and a star refers to historical heritage, Christian tradition, and local nobility. The silver pall represents the crossroads and geographical location, while the golden ears of wheat on green fields symbolize the region's agricultural richness and fertility.
