Components of the Flag

Represents the fervour of the people, their courage and vitality – their burning aspiration to be free. The red border is indicative of their dedication to preserve harmony and unity of spirit.

The colour representative of wisdom also holds significance for Grenadians – a representation of the sun, their islands in the sun, the warmth and friendliness to their people.

Symbolises the fertility of the land, the lush vegetation and the island’s agriculture.

The seven stars represent the seven parishes and the hopes and aspirations and ideas upon which the nation was founded.

Represents the reputation as the Isle of Spice and its traditional link with the economy.
