The text speaks of the Cascamorras fiesta in Badix, Spain, in which people chase and torment this costumed character. Evidently the usage here is an idiom as there is no mention of any literal flag. Perhaps it means that he turns on his pursuers and puts up a fight?
Unos a otros se embadurnan con agua tintada y huevos, ya que le objetivo es que el Cascamorras no llegue limpio ante la Virgen. El Cascamorras ONDEA LA BANDERA en varios puntos del itinerario y es sumergido en dos fuentes

It seems that this costumed man does indeed carry a flag, which he waves.

Comment: "Thanks, everyone. My entire uncertainty had to do with whether or not this was an idiomatic usage, as there is no other mention of a flag in the text. "
