Syttende Mai (May 17)

Norway adopted its constitution in 1814, and it is this event that is celebrated May 17. The Norwegian Parliament, the Storting, held the first May 17 celebrations in 1836, and from then on the day was regarded as the national day. The first children's parade was held in 1870. Since 1906, the Royal Family have gathered on the balcony of the Royal Palace in Oslo to wave to the children marching by.
