World Diabetes Day 2026: SNP Bridge lights up in blue
To mark World Diabetes Day, the SNP Bridge in Bratislava will light up in blue on 14 November 2026. We invite you to join us for a symbolic walk through the city.
14 November was officially established as World Diabetes Day in 2006, when the United Nations adopted its resolution. On this day we commemorate the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin.
To mark World Diabetes Day, the civic association Diador, together with Bratislava City Hall, has prepared a symbolic event to draw attention to this disease, which is becoming ever more common: lighting up the SNP Bridge in blue.
The symbol of diabetes is the blue circle, which represents the unity of the global diabetes community. The colour blue stands for the sky that unites all nations and is the colour of the United Nations flag.
Invitation to a symbolic walk
Dear members of Diador, we invite you to a symbolic walk through the city. We will meet under the SNP Bridge and walk together to the Presidential Palace.
📍 Meeting point: under the SNP Bridge
🚶 Route: to the Presidential Palace
This day is special for us for another reason too – Diador is also marking 48 years since its founding. We would be delighted if you celebrated it with us.
We look forward to seeing you! 💙
