Grundlovfest or Grundslovsdag ~ Danish Brotherhood plays host in the USA

June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Constitution Day (Danish: Grundlovsdag), observed on June 5, commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Danish constitution of 1849, which established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy, and honors the constitution of 1953, which was adopted on the same day. Almost all workplaces and shops are closed at noon on this particular day.

Because of this, the Danish Brotherhood of America, California Nevada district has a few local lodges celebrating these events in June 2010
