It’s here — Norway’s National Day, or 17 mai! Celebrating from here in Kentucky — HURRA! Will post updates from today’s celebrations all day!
For all you Eurovision fans — Margaret Berger will represent Norway tonight during the second semifinal. “I Feed You My Love” is a favorite this year, but can she make it to the final? Here’s hoping!
The show starts at 21:00 CET (also Norwegian time) and can be seen live on the Eurovision Song Contest’s website.
You’ve probably heard Norway’s national anthem, Ja, vi elsker dette landet (and will hear it a lot on 17. mai this Friday). But there’s a new anthem called Det går et festtog gjennom landet!, written by two people from Sarpsborg. Listen to it here!
