In Norway, it is common to wear bunad as a costume at various celebrations,such as: folkdances ,weddings,and especially the May 17 National Day celebrations.

Accepted as proper gala attire, it is increasingly common to see people, and especially women, dressed in bunad. The former Norwegian foreign minister, Thorvald Stoltenberg, created history by presenting his accreditation as ambassador to Margrethe II of Denmark dressed in a bunad.
