From https://www.mastenenvlaggen.nl/product/dorpsvlag-bakkum:

The official village flag of the village of Bakkum has probably been in use in its current form since 2019. It is yellow and features a red chevron across its entire width. A prancing silhouette of a unicorn can be seen in the center of the flag. This mythical animal is traced to the family coat of arms of the Van der Mijle family. The red and yellow color come from the flag of Egmond , with which Bakkum has an age-old link. As a whole, the flag symbolizes solidarity. For that reason, the flag is also displayed at various festivities in the village.
