Nordic Museum - Syttende Mai and Norwegian cultural ceremonies

The Nordic Museum in Ballard hosts and organizes events tied to Norwegian and Nordic cultural rituals, including annual Syttende Mai (Norwegian Constitution Day) celebrations with parades, flag rituals, and traditional performances. The museum documents and programs these recurring cultural observances as part of its mission to preserve and present Nordic heritage in the Seattle area. Its public events draw the region's Scandinavian-descended communities and visitors interested in Nordic traditions.
