Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski will not join the annual Independence Day march, instead inviting city residents to a free concert at the Museum of Polish History on November 11 at 6 p.m.
Mayor Declines to Join Parade
Rafał Trzaskowski, asked about participating in the Independence Day march, stated that he will not. He emphasized that anyone may demonstrate as long as they do not break the law or incite hatred or property destruction.
March Restrictions Announced
On the day, Warsaw will enforce a ban on movement and pyrotechnics, and the government has announced a temporary ban on carrying weapons. The march organizers have appealed the provincial governor’s decision to administrative court.
Concert Invitation Details
Instead of marching, the mayor encourages residents to attend the “Wspólna Niepodległa” concert at the Museum of Polish History on 11 November at 6 p.m. The free event will feature 16 artists from 16 voivodeships, and a dedicated “WN” shuttle line has been arranged for transport.
Accessibility and Logistics
The event will provide adjustments for people with disabilities, and other city celebrations will take place at Krakowskie Przedmieście and near the Citadel. The concert’s single stage lineup and additional attractions are part of the broader city-wide observances.
