A rotatable flagpole apparatus comprising a sleeve, an end cap, a collar, and means for attaching the flag to the sleeve. A flagpole extends within the sleeve, the flagpole having an end member defining a shoulder that is adjacent to a top edge of the sleeve so that the sleeve is rotatably supported by said end member. The sleeve of the apparatus and the flag attached thereto rotates about the stationary flagpole to permit the flag to be parallel with the wind. This reduces the tendency of the flag to wrap itself around the flagpole.
