To day it is the national day of Norway. On 17 May we are commemorating the signing of that date in 1814. In Norway, the national day is huge. While many countries celebrate their national day with a military parade, Norway's 17 May is more a party for everyone, especiall the children. Before they take to the streets, many will gather for a 17 May breakfast - often a potluck with friends and neighbours - with freshly baked bread, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, and for the grown-ups, champagne.
Children's parades then take place across the country, and led by marching bands, they walk through their communities. The largest of the traditinal parades attract tens of thousands of people waving flags and shouting: «Hurra!», in Oslo, the parade is greeted by the royal family who are waving tireless to the crowds from the Royal Palace balcony.
To day is the day the focus is mostly on eating huge amounts of ice cream and hot dogs, listening to speeches, and playing games at local schools.
But this year, because of corona, the National Day is celebrated at home.
