Welcome to Seattle’s popular 17th of May Celebration, a.k.a. Syttende Mai [Soot-n-duh My]. 1,000’s of spectators line the streets of Ballard for the parade to see more than 100 groups including marching bands, Norwegian-American lodges, drill teams, classic cars and much more – all for Norway’s Constitution Day.
In addition to the popular parade there are other events going on all day including music and dancing at Bergen place, a luncheon and kids events.
