17. Mai, National day

17.mai/17th of may is the national day of Norway, where everyone wears a bunad (the national costume of Norway) or something else nice like a suit or a dress. There are many parades all over the country. And when you finish school you celebrate russetiden. There’s a lot of partying and drinking, and a lot of people use a lot of money on this. And that’s also celebrated on this day and all of may.
