March route
Participants will set off from Dmowski Roundabout (by Defilad Square), then walk along Jerozolimskie Avenue and across the Poniatowski Bridge. The route then continues along Wał Miedzeszyński, Wybrzeże Szczecińskie and Siwca streets to the National Stadium meadows.
The march has the status of a recurring assembly. The organiser obtained consent from the Mazovian Voivode by a decision of 17 April 2025; the notification covers the years 2025–2027.
Other assemblies and bans
As of 4 November, City Hall had received 20 notifications of assemblies planned for 11 November. The city had previously reported that the largest assembly would take place between 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The same day, the Independence Run will also take place, which means changes in traffic and public transport. Details are published by the Warsaw Public Transport Authority (ZTM).
The police announce that, as every year, a ban on drone flights, a ban on using pyrotechnics and a ban on carrying weapons will be in force. A spokesperson for the Capital City Police Headquarters said that security measures have been under way for several weeks and that officers will be deployed where they are needed.
Participants can use the paid car park on the National Stadium meadows, open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 11 November is a public holiday under statutory law, with no work or school.
