Do you know what rosemåling is? If you don’t and are curious (or already know and love it), the Wisconsin State Rosemåling Association hosts an exhibit with live demonstrations of the traditional Norwegian painting style during Syttende Mai in Stoughton. That’s just one aspect of a packed weekend celebrating Norway’s Constitution Day (May 17), including more art and historical exhibits, entertainment, a run/walk, all sorts of food, and a Sunday parade. Another highlight is the Stoughton Village Players' annual original production featuring Ole and Lena: Broadcast Snooze, or Norskies Like to Watch (Nordmenn Liker Å Se), at 7 and 8:30 p.m. on May 16-17 and 2:30, 4 and 7 pm May 18. See a schedule below and find updates at stoughtonfestivals.com.
