Celebrate Norway’s Constitution Day today with the Portland’s Grieg Lodge Sons of Norway at the Norse Hall (111 NE 11th).

May Seventeenth, “Syttende Mai” (set-na-my), is Norway’s most important holiday. On this date in 1814, with the signing of the Norwegian Constitution, Norway was declared an independent country.

Admission to the celebration is free. Before and after the parade visit the Oslo Lounge, inside the Norse Hall, for authentic Norwegian food, music and dance performances, other activities. Visit the Norse Hall website for more information.
