Happy Birthday, Norway!
no-flag.gif
May 17th is the Norwegian national day. In the history of Norway, 17 May 1814 marks both the country's declaration of independence and the triumph of constitutional government.

In Norway, this day is celebrated with childrens' parades, marching band music in the streets and people wearing traditional costumes. For us expats, there are usually May 17th celebrations coordinated by the embassies or the Norwegian Seamen's churches.

The Norwegian history as a free, democratic country isn't as long as you maybe thought. Make us proud and wish the Norwegian people a Happy Birthday today!
