🇳🇴 Gratulerer med dagen Norge! 🇳🇴
For 44 years, the Norwegian community in Minnesota has gathered on Norway’s Constitution Day, May 17, to celebrate with great food, colorful flags, national songs, and inspiring speakers. Norway House is proud to continue this cherished tradition in our Sundet Aula.
This year, we are delighted to highlight St. Olaf College, a world-class higher education institution founded by early Norwegian immigrants in Minnesota. As St. Olaf celebrates its 150th anniversary, President Susan Rundell Singer will share the college’s origin story and its deep ties to Norway, as well as how it has evolved while continuing to honor its Norwegian heritage.
Join us and celebrate Norway's Constitution Day with President Susan R. Singer, and highlight St. Olaf's distinguished role in Norwegian-American history.
