Also the day after the
16th of May, which is one of the biggest
partying
days of the
year here in
Norway, and also the day with the highest
attendance at the
football games in the
Norwegian football season.
This means that most young people between 15 and 26 are pretty tired on the national day. Students especially are prone to stay inside on 17th of May after a hard last night, pretending to be studying for their exams, but really just trying to eliminate the obligatory national day hangover. The parades that are going on outdoors don't really help, so staying in often works, and one may or may not wear a bunad whilst doing this.
