Nijmegen4Ukraine invites the community to mark the Day of Ukrainian Defenders with a gathering on Mariënburgplein. The event centres on remembrance: sharing the stories of people who continue to defend Ukraine and those who have lost their lives resisting Russian aggression.
The programme combines these personal accounts with historical background and traditional songs from Cossack times. Organizers describe it as a demonstration and an opportunity to keep the defenders’ stories present in public life. Visitors are invited to listen, remember and stand alongside the Ukrainian community in central Nijmegen. The announcement is available in Ukrainian and English; it does not specify a full language schedule or an ending time.
1 October 2026. The gathering starts at 17:30. An admission price and ending time are not listed.
Venue: Mariënburgplein, Mariënburg 26, 6511 PS Nijmegen.
