Pulse of Europe activists are to make their voices heard on the streets today.
Canterbury is now an official Pulse of Europe city, joining High Wycombe and Bath as the third of its kind in the UK.
There are active groups in cities as diverse as Kiev and Copenhagen, Budapest, Berlin and Bruges, with hubs in many places across the continent.
Despite the wet and cold weather, Pulse of Europe held its first rally in Canterbury in March, with a strong turnout.
Today, the European Union supporters will meet at 2pm at The Buttermarket.
Professor Amelia Hadfield from Christchurch University will be addressing the crowd, and participants are invited to share one thing they love about Europe.
A short march through the city centre is planned, and will conclude with a communal singing of the Ode to Joy.
