Tid til 17.mai feiring (May 16, 2026)

Velkommen til 17.mai i Utah

Each year, typically on the Saturday following May 17, Norwegians and friends of Norway gather at the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake City to celebrate the Norwegian Constitution Day. For 2026, however, rather than compete with Memorial Day weekend, the committee decided Saturday May 16 will work best for the celebration. The parade may not be down Karl Johans gate, but the spirit of 17.mai is always present. We hope you will join us in preserving the Norwegian heritage that is important to many in Utah

What makes May 17 significant?

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.
