May 17: Children’s Day (Norway)

Children’s Day in Norway is observed on May 17, coinciding with the national celebration of Constitution Day. This day commemorates the signing of the Constitution of Norway in 1814 and has been an official holiday since 1833. Unlike many countries that celebrate their national day with military parades, Norway features numerous children’s parades, emphasizing the role of children in society. Each elementary school district organizes its own parade, with the largest taking place in Oslo, where children from around 100 schools march past the Royal Palace, displaying national flags and banners. The royal family greets the children from the balcony, making it a significant and festive occasion.
