A Norwegian bunad is a traditional folk costume worn in Norway. These costumes are highly regarded in Norwegian culture and are often worn on special occasions and celebrations, such as weddings, confirmations, and national holidays like Constitution Day (May 17th). Bunads vary in design and style, with different regions of Norway having their own distinct versions.
