COMMUNITY

Norwegian Constitution Day Celebration & Parade
Known as Syttende Mai (literally “17th of May”), Norwegian Constitution Day celebrations will take over Seattle’s own Scandinavian-influenced neighborhood on Friday. The National Nordic Museum is hosting a luncheon gala and free family activities like “Fjord Horses” and a Nordic express train in the parking lot all day long. Check out an all-star lineup of Nordic talent at Bergen Place in the afternoon before securing your spot along the parade route. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the parade will start at NW 62nd and 24th Ave NW, then head south past the Leif Erikson Lodge and Bergen Place before coming to an end near The Walrus and the Carpenter. Pro tip: the colors of the Norwegian flag are mostly red, some blue, and a little bit of white. Sound familiar? SHANNON LUBETICH
