DANUBE DAY 2008

Welcome to Danube Day 2008! 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. Help us make the fifth annual Danube Day the most important yet.

Danube Day is a celebration of a cleaner, safer river following 14 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 2008. Join in and help make the decisions that affect your river.

The Danube Rivers: let’s use them - not abuse them!
