What you need to know
- Free songbooks on Długi Targ, handed out by hospice volunteers so kids can follow the songs; you can give a donation to the hospice in return.
- A family day, not protest, run by local groups since 2003 in a spirit the organizers describe as uniting, not dividing.
- Tens of thousands attend, so small kids see more from shoulders or from a quieter stretch of the route than at the Green Gate.
About
Every Independence Day, tens of thousands of people in red and white walk together through Gdańsk's Old Town and Main Town: school groups, scouts, seniors, historical reenactors and whole families. It ends under the Green Gate with the national anthem and a giant family photo of the crowd. Kids can wave a flag along the route, then join the sing-along on Długi Targ. It suits all ages.
Where it is
