Hipp, hipp, hurra for 17. mai!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As is the case every year, Norway’s National Day (called Constitution Day, nicknamed Children’s Day)\u00a0was celebrated on the 17th of May.<\/p>\n

Parades, brass bands, traditional costumes (bunad<\/em>) and flags were observed everywhere throughout the country.<\/p>\n

The National Day of Norway is a big event and Norwegians really like to pay tribute to\u00a0their\u00a0country!<\/p>\n

They simply\u00a0wouldn’t miss their nasjonaldag<\/em> for the world.<\/p>\n

While children are allowed to eat as much ice\u00a0cream\u00a0as they want,\u00a0adults usually start their day\u00a0with a fresh cup of champagne.<\/p>\n

Salmon, herring, strawberries and\u00a0hot dogs (p\u00f8lse<\/em>) are also often eaten on the 17th of May.<\/p>\n

Norway’s National Day\u00a0is truly a day for festivities and visiting Norway at this time of the year is probably a great idea.<\/p>\n

See you next year?<\/p>\n
