2026 DETAILS (BELOW)
An annual event, the League presents a luncheon in celebration of Norway's Constitution Day in May. Often held the day before the Syttende Mai (Constitution Day) parade.
Enjoy some pictures from previous luncheons/banquets here.


"Syttende Mai" - in Norwegian means "the 17th of May".

"Syttende Mai" - in Norwegian means "the 17th of May". When Norwegians mention the day they are referring to their annual celebration of the signing of the Norwegian constitution on May 17, 1814, in Eidsvoll, Norway.

While Chicago could not possibly match the magnitude of the Syttende Mai parade in Oslo, Norway, with thousands of people attending including children from over many schools, The Norwegian National League holds a Gala Banquet in addition to the annual Syttende Mai parade.
