Festival Traditions

Festival Royalty

Our Official Event Ambassadors! Each year new Syttende Mai Royalty is chosen for their outstanding community service and dedication to sharing their pride in Stoughton's Norwegian heritage with both residents and visitors.

Commemorative Coin

Every year the Syttende Mai Cultural Committee issues a collectible, commemorative coin as a keepsake. They’re a remembrance of the festival, and honors both Stoughton’s and Norway’s heritage.
