"This is a great opportunity to send a positive signal to the world that Poles are united, proud and determined to build a strong Poland," Nawrocki said.
The march, held annually since 2011 by the Independence March Association, will carry the slogan "One Nation – Strong Poland" this year.
The event is set to begin at 1 pm local time with a prayer at Rondo Dmowskiego in central Warsaw, with participants marching across the Poniatowski Bridge to the National Stadium an hour later.
Among the announced participants are leaders of the right-wing parties Law and Justice (PiS) and Confederation.
Some centrist and left-wing parties have declared they will not take part in the march, arguing that it is dominated by far-right groups.
The Independence March has a history of tension and controversy.
In past years, some participants have displayed xenophobic or fascist symbols, clashed with police and attacked journalists.
Incidents have included attacks on a TVN24 broadcast vehicle in 2011, the burning of the "Tęcza" ("Rainbow") installation in 2013, and a 2020 arson attack on an apartment following the display of a rainbow flag.
Authorities have in the past deployed significant police resources to maintain order, and concerns remain over potential provocations during this year’s march.
The organisers of the Independence March have emphasised that they are committed to ensuring the event is conducted peacefully and respectfully, marking Independence Day in a dignified manner.
