More than 200 independence supporters from across the region gathered for a rally in Dumfries town centre on Wednesday night.
The event at the Midsteeple was one of 13 being staged simultaneously across Scotland in response to a key court ruling.
Supreme Court judges in London announced on the same day that Holyrood cannot lawfully hold a second independence referendum.
Dumfries and Galloway Pensioners for Indy organised the Midsteeple gathering which featured several speakers.
Co-organiser David Howdle, from Kirkton, insisted that the denial of a vote is “blatantly undemocratic”.
He said: “It is time for the people of Scotland to make their feelings known about such a flagrant breach of their right to self determination.
“The people of Scotland have consistently, over years, voted for pro-independence parties in both Westminster and Holyrood elections.
“The SNP has a huge mandate to deliver another referendum on independence.
Other rallies were held outside Holyrood and in European cities.
