Overview

Sestokai - on green background golden locomotive wheel surrounded by 6 silver stock pigeons. Flag proportions 10:11, free edges bordered with tight golden strip, finial is silver knob. The locomotive wheel means railway as major factor of town development. The stock pigeons (Columba oenas) are living in environs, and their number 6 associates with the town name: "sixth" is "sestas" in Lithuanian.
