The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 35, introduced by a group of Wisconsin legislators, proclaims the weekend of May 16, 17, and 18, 2025, as Syttende Mai Weekend in Wisconsin. This resolution recognizes the significance of Syttende Mai, which commemorates the signing of the Norwegian Constitution on May 17, 1814, marking Norway's independence from Denmark. The resolution highlights the contributions of Norwegian immigrants to Wisconsin's culture, noting that one in twelve residents claims Norwegian ancestry.

The resolution encourages all Wisconsin residents to participate in the celebrations associated with Syttende Mai Weekend, which will include various activities such as parades, cultural displays, music, and performances in communities with strong Norwegian heritage. By declaring this weekend, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to honor and promote the rich Norwegian cultural traditions present in the state, inviting everyone to join in the festivities as honorary Norwegians.
