Welcome to Danube Day 2014! 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.

Danube Day 2014 is a celebration of a cleaner, safer river following 20 years of international cooperation. Huge festivals on the banks of the rivers; public meetings and fun, educational events pay tribute to the Danube rivers, its peoples and the progress that has been made. Danube Day strengthens our “Danube solidarity” highlighting that, in spite of our different cultures and histories, we have a shared desire and responsibility to protect our precious resource.

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