This 4k walking tour documents the celebrations of Norway´s national day - 17th of May - in the historic city of Bergen. On this wonderful spring morning, the streets are full of happy people dressed in the traditional costumes of Norway, 'Bunad', smart suits and summer dresses. "Søttende Mai" starts with a champagne breakfast, followed by parades and a street party in the heart of this beautiful city. Bergeners are known for their sanguine spirit, which certainly is reflected by the intensity of celebrations on this day.
In this video we join the unique Children´s Parade, giving us an immersive, front row experience of the opposing parade - the wild and carnevalesque ‘Hovedprosesjonen’ (main parade), which gathers everything from the hospital clowns, midieval groups and student bands to veteran cars, the fire brigade and the army. It was such an emotional rush filming this part of the video!
The parades start and finish at Festplassen square and Bryggen UNESCO world heritage site.
Then we move on to some serious people spotting, strolling through the city which is at its most lush spring, and colourful with flowers in full bloom. Along the way there is music and dancing in the streets.
A unique feature of the Bergen celebrations is Buekorps, which are self organized drill groups and social clubs for boys and girls. You will also see lots of youth in red and blue overalls, ‘Russ’. They are in their final year of high school/A-levels.
On May 17th we celebrate Norway´s constitution, freedom, democracy and inclusion. National day is a day when everybody is welcome, young or old, whether you have roots in a different country, or just visiting. Ultimately, our strength as a nation comes from the emotional bonds we form with each other across social and cultural groups, on precious communal events like 17 May.
So put on your Sunday best, grab your champagne glass, and let´s hit the streets!
Gratulerer med dagen!
(Congratulations on this day!)
