food and drinks, such as lefse, krumkake, herring, waffles and aquavit.

Saskatoon Norwegian Cultural Society sponsors the pavilion, and several
Sons of Norway members volunteer and have a booth each year.

HURRA FOR SYTTENDE MAI!
Norway's Constitution Day-known as Syttende Mai-is the nation's biggest celebration. The Constitution laid the foundation for
democratic development in Norway. As Europe's oldest and the world's second-oldest prevailing Constitution, it is now a unifying
symbol of freedom, independence and democracy. If you don't live in Norway, there are still plenty of ways to show your pride and
celebrate. Break out the red, white and blue, and check out these Syttende Mai parades stateside.
