Danube Day 2018

Welcome to Danube Day 2018! On the 29th of June each year, the 14 countries of the Danube Basin jointly celebrate one of Europe's greatest river systems and the people and wildlife that rely on it. Events take place across the Basin in the weeks running up to Danube Day. So read on to find out how you can get active for healthier rivers and enjoy the celebrations.

Get active for a healthier Danube!
 

Danube Day 2018 is a celebration of healthier rivers following 24 years of ground-breaking international cooperation. During June and July, riverside festivals, public meetings and fun, educational events will pay tribute to the Danube rivers, their peoples and the progress being made. The events 
strengthen our "Danube solidarity": in spite of different cultures and histories, we have a shared desire and responsibility to protect our precious resource.

How people use, enjoy and cooperate over their rivers is directly affected by the events of Danube Day 2018. Join in and help make the decisions that affect your river!
