The theme for this year's 61st, 17th of May Committee (Norwegian Day Parade Committee) is “Sharing Norwegian Traditions.” The word tradition, triggers a flood of images and ideas. One thinks of food (krumkaker), holiday celebrations (dancing around the Christmas tree) and special handiwork (Norwegian sweaters). Yes, these are all examples of Norwegian traditions.
