Welcome to Danube Day 2009! Danube Day invites you to celebrate one of Europe's greatest river systems and the people and wildlife that rely on it.

Join over 81 million people in 14 countries to celebrate Danube Day on the 29th June. Celebrating this day together helps protect the Danube rivers so they can be used and enjoyed by generations to come. Over 169 events involving tens of thousands of people took place in 2008. Help us make the sixth annual Danube Day the most important yet.

Danube Day is a celebration of a cleaner, safer river following 15 years of international cooperation. Huge festivals on the banks of the rivers; public meetings and fun, educational events pay tribute to the Danube, 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 and enjoy the Danube rivers in future years will be directly affected by the events of Danube Day 2009. Join in and help make the decisions that affect your river.
