St. Olav’s Day is a cultural holiday celebrated annually on July 28th in the Faroe Islands. It is part of Norwegian culture and commemorates King Olav II, who played a significant role in the Christianization of Norway. Celebrating St. Olav’s Eve helps to pass down culture and make younger generations aware of traditions. The holiday is marked by parades, sporting events, concerts, and art exhibitions. Traditional Faroese chain dancing and ballad singing are also cultural highlights of the festival. St. Olav’s Day, which follows St. Olav’s Eve on July 29th, is considered by many to be the national day of the Faroe Islands.
