BARNETOG = Children's Parade
The most endearing part of this day is, in my opinion, the children walking after the fanes of their schools, in special children's parades, singing, waving small flags. School orchestras and some orchestras for grownups make it a day of music and marches. As a little girl, you want to be one of the drill sergeants or to play in the orchestra!
This is the day Norwegian children dress up, often in national costumes, and eat a lot of icecream and other goodies!
In Oslo the school children walk up the main street Karl Johan , past the Royal Palace where the King and Queen wave to them.

That parade takes about three hours! This year 111 schools participated.
The kindergarten children usually have their own parades - smaller and shorter - on May 16th.
