Summary/Abstract: This article provides an overview of the narratives and practices of participants of the Independence March, an annual street demonstration held in Warsaw, organized by nationalist associations. The study attempts to determine whether the event creates a sense of community among the participants and, if so, what kind of community it is: what symbols and values it refers to, how the participants talk about it and how they practise and experience it.
