On this date, the 17th of May, 1814, Norway got it's own constitution and got liberated from Danish controll. We still celebrate this date to this day by going out in the streets in something that is called a "train" of people in the streets.

Happy birthday Norway!

You will find these "trains" of people in every community across Norway, big or small. If you want to read more on the national day of Norway and our constitution, check out Wikipedia:

Happy birthday to all Norwegian people!

from wiki:
The 17th of May, the date of the signing of the constitution, is celebrated as Norwegian Constitution Day with the school children's flag parades. In the capital Oslo, the parade passes the Royal Palace where thousands of schoolchildren wave to the King and Queen. A notable feature of the Norwegian Constitution Day celebration is the virtual absence of any military parades, the day being almost wholly a civilian celebration.
