Live from Norway: Celebrate the 17th of May! 
Join us for a joyful live-stream celebration of Norway’s Constitution Day (17. mai) — a day filled with music, flags, laughter, and the unmistakable spirit of Norwegian tradition.
From the sound of marching bands and children’s parades to the sight of bunads, waving flags, and festive streets, this special broadcast invites you to experience the heart of Norway’s most beloved national celebration — wherever you are in the world.
Expect stories about the history and meaning of 17. mai, glimpses of the celebrations across Norway, traditional songs, and the warm atmosphere that makes this day so unique. Whether you are Norwegian, have Norwegian roots, or simply love Nordic culture, this livestream will bring the celebration straight to you.
What to expect
So put on something red, white, and blue, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or perhaps a glass of bubbly), and join us as we celebrate Norway’s birthday — live!
Hurra for 17. mai!
