Syttende Gay 2011 – 5th Year Anniversary
Seventeenth of May, the Norwegian Constitution Day is Ballard's biggest day of the year with one of the largest parades outside of Norway. Syttende Gay is here once again!
Syttende Gay came in to existence in 2006 as an event combining Seattle’s Nordic GLBT community and the annual celebration of Syttende Mai, Syttende Gay. This event celebrates five years, both in the spirit of cultural and GLBT diversity and in the past five years has evolved into an internationally promoted event with the help of local Ballard Blogs, International Blogs – My So Called Gay Life, Out Travel Magazine and Orbitz Travel. Syttende Gay is one of the many events under the auspices of Kwanchai.
