On 11 November, Warsaw’s annual Independence March will begin at 2 p.m., but the fundraiser remains far below its 200 thousand‑zloty target.
Fundraising Status
As of 1 p.m. on 11 November, 151,781 zloty had been collected for the event, yet the declared goal is 200,000 zloty. One‑eighth of a million supporters have contributed, and 19 days remain until the deadline.
The organisers emphasize that the 200‑thousand‑zloty figure is only part of the budget; the entire march is projected to cost about 400,000 zloty.
Cost Breakdown
Funds are earmarked for several key areas: construction of three stages and artistic opening and closing shows; training and deployment of several hundred volunteer “Marshal Guards” to maintain safety; reliable radio communication systems; medical protection with fully equipped ambulances and hundreds of medical staff positioned along the route; full event sound‑system from start to finish; field infrastructure including tents, kiosks, toilets, and volunteer support facilities; promotional materials, photography and video documentation; media coverage and public relations; and coordination and logistics for over 600 volunteers who must operate as a single unit.
Route & Timing
The march commences at 2 p.m. from Zronda Dmowskiego, proceeds along Jerozolimskie avenues, crosses Poniatowski Bridge, and continues through Wał Miedzeszyński, Wybrzeże Szczecińskie, and Siwka before concluding at the PGE Narodowy stadium, where a patriotic concert will follow.
Estimated Attendance
Organisers anticipate that up to 100,000 people may participate this year, reflecting the march’s enduring popularity.
