Thousands of people descended on Central Ballard Thursday evening for the Syttende Mai parade celebrating Norway’s Constitution Day. Some wore viking hats, many waved Norwegian flags as they cheered on the many participants in the annual parade. As is customary, kids lined the front row, waiting to dash for candy thrown in their direction.
Norwegian Ambassador to the U.S. Kåre R. Aas (above) was this year’s grand marshal.
