About
Syttende Mai (or the 17th of May) marks Norway's declaration of independence and is a celebration of the 1814 signing of Norway's constitution and independence from Sweden. This day is also called Constitution Day and National Day and is a great spring festival in Norway.
Spring Grove, Minnesota has been recognizing founding fathers and honoring our Norwegian-American heritage since 1973 with an annual city celebration. Since then, the celebration has seen many changes but continues to emphasize the pride in our Norwegian ancestry through the ageless traditions of art, dance, food, clothing and congregation.
