Independence march to take lace in Warsaw on November 11; disruption expected
Event
An Independence March will take place in Warsaw on Wednesday, November 11, to celebrate independence day. The Independence March will take place at 14:00 (local time) from Rondo Roman Dmowski towards the national PGE Narodowy stadium. The march attracted approximately 50,000 participants in 2019. It is expected to be well-attended this year and to pass off peacefully.
A heightened security presence along with associated travel disruption is possible in the vicinity of the march.
Advice
Though National Independence Day events are expected to remain largely peaceful and celebratory, travelers should expect localized overland travel disruption. Any events which are of a more political rather than celebratory nature should be avoided. Travelers should remain vigilant in the vicinity of large crowds due to the potential for opportunistic crime and exposure to crowd disturbances. Monitor local media reports for updates on road closures, service disruption, and on related events occurring in your particular area of operations.
