Norwegian Constitution Day or "grunnlovsdag," commonly known as "Syttende Mai" or the 17th of May is a celebration of the day in 1814 when Norway’s constitution was signed in the town of Eidsvoll, Norway.

In the Greater Seattle (especially the Ballard area), the day has been celebrated since 1889 with proclamations, speeches, and a parade. Enjoy life and the freedom we have.
