'''St. Annastreet''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: '''St. Annastraat''') is a street in the Dutch city of [[Nijmegen]]. The name is derived from the hamlet [[St. Anna]], named after a chapel devoted to [[Saint Anne]] ({{lang-nl|Sint Anna}})

The street functions as one of the major traffic arteries into Nijmegen and sets the stage for the arrival on the last day of the [[International Four Days Marches Nijmegen]]. For this occasion, the street is renamed '''Via Gladiola'''. The name is a play on the Dutch saying "Death or the Gladioli", referring to Roman times when the gladiolus became a symbol of strength and victory. It now honours those who finish the marches.
