The russefeiring (English: "russ celebration") is a traditional celebration for Norwegian high school pupils in their final spring semester. Pupils that take part in the celebrations are known as russ. The russefeiring traditionally starts around 20 April (with some starting earlier/later depending on the regional county) and ends on 17 May, the Norwegian Constitution day. Participants wear coloured overalls (Usually red, blue, or black). #russefeiring #norway #school #graduates #traditions 

In the evening on the last day of the school, an open-air bus with no real seats will pick up all the children invited to the party from door to door. Each stop along the way includes a 30 minute party for the student’s family and friends, and then all graduates go to the next pick-up location. At midnight, after the last big party with fireworks and drinking and beer with relatives, the bus will return to the same route and send all the children back to their homes. The bus itself will be equipped with huge speakers, kegs, beer crates, and decorated with banners and ribbons. #bus #school
