In 2006, an alternative event was created for the annual Syttende Mai (Seventeenth of May) to celebrate Norwegian Constitution Day in Ballard and this year they celebrated 10 year anniversary and we wanted to share pictures from the celebration with all of you.

Syttende Gay – 10 year anniversary in pictures

We’ve been lucky to get some pictures from the last Tuesdays (17th of May) celebration of Syttende Gay – 10 year anniversary.

This alternative event became known as Syttende Gay, which was a play on words of Syttende Mai and we are that alternative event for the LGBT guests as well as anyone who simply is supportive. Syttende Gay is a non-profit event that is produced by Kwanchai Events.

Although this particular event focuses on the LGBT side, their main focus is to also to promote and celebrate Norwegian culture and the long standing tradition in Ballard – Seattle for 127 years.
