Flag Description: The flag consists of a white field charged in the center with the town's coat of arms. The coat of arms features a blue shield with a green triple mount at the base. Standing on the mount is a rearing silver (white) unicorn with golden hooves and horn and a red tongue. On the left side from the viewer's perspective (heraldic dexter), the unicorn holds three golden ears of wheat in its upper hoof and a golden bunch of grapes with leaves in its lower hoof.
Symbolism: The unicorn originates from the historical seal and coat of arms of the noble Lengyel family, former prominent landowners of the area. The golden ears of wheat and bunch of grapes symbolize agriculture and traditional viticulture in the Balatonboglár wine region. The green triple mount represents the surrounding hilly landscape of Somogy County.
