Welcome to Danube Day 2019

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. In 2019, hundreds of events took place throughout the Danube River Basin in and around Danube Day. Read on to find out how you can get active for a safer Danube, and find out more about what went on in 2019!

Get active for a safer Danube!

Danube Day 2019 was a celebration of safer rivers following 25 years of groundbreaking international cooperation in the region. Festivals along the banks of the Danube and throughout major cities, including various fun activities and educational events paid tribute to the river, its peoples, and the progress made in three decades of action.

Events took place in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine. Such events strengthen our "Danube solidarity": in spite of different cultures and histories, we have a shared desire and responsibility to protect our precious resource.

Read the ICPDR Danube Day press release to find out about the unique 14-country partnership that's active for a healthier Danube. How people use, enjoy and cooperate over their rivers is directly affected by the events of Danube Day.
