Easter is the main religious holiday in Norway. Like residents of many other countries, Norwegians paint chicken eggs on Easter. The Norwegian symbol of Easter is the yellow chicken which becomes a decoration not only for all shop windows, but every festive table. On November 11th, St. Martin’s Day is celebrated throughout the country. On this holiday, it is customary to arrange a delicious dinner and prepare roasted goose. This is due to the fact that eating food of animal origin after St. Martin’s Day is not accepted until Christmas.
The Constitution Day of Norway is celebrated on May 17th and is accompanied by numerous carnivals and concerts. Traditionally, participants in the carnival wear national costumes on this day. In addition to well-known holidays, a number of interesting and unusual festivals take place in Norway. First to be mentioned is the March wine festival which is held in Stavanger. Besides this holiday, the city annually pleases its guests and residents with a festival of potatoes and a week of garlic, as well as a jazz festival.

The city of Lillehammer is known for its blues and jazz festivals which are held in March and September respectively. But then again, these are not the only music festivals in Norway. Every year, the wonderful city of Bergen becomes the venue for a large-scale International Music Festival. In addition to this, various music and dance festivals are held in Balestrand, Hardanger, Kinsarvik and other cities.
