A heraldic description of the Flag of Capivari:
a) At top and bottom, two dark green bands, of equal width, like those surrounding the City in center, representing our main economic wealth, " Sugar cane of Açúcar", wealth which for many years has supported the economy of the City.
b) Inside these bands, two white bands of equal width to the green ones represent the brightness of the city that is noticed by all visitors who arrive in port here; caused by the "white sands" that reflect the solar rays with greater intensity, forming an almost extreme brightness. The white also represents peace in the City, that really is very calm in its life and work.
c) In the center, a sky blue band extending across the flag and under the arms, of lesser width represents the legendary River Capivari, and complements the arms, since it gives the name to the city, and in it rests the history of the community, since its foundation.
d) In the center of the flag the arms of Capivari designed by Affonso de Taunay represent the City itself.
