About 2,000 people marched through the city centre, waving flags and singing the Ukrainian national anthem.
They shouted patriotic slogans including "
Russians go home" and "
Kherson is Ukraine".
Kherson, a key port on the Black Sea and the Dnieper River, fell to Russian troops earlier this week.
Videos of the protest on social media show Russian troops firing into the air to deter the approaching crowd.
One local resident, Yevhen, told the BBC the protest was a march for freedom and Ukrainian independence.
When asked whether Ukrainian forces were trying to retake Kherson, he said: "
Every night we hear about six or 10 explosions. It sounds like mortars. We don't know who is bombing who."
Pooty wet dream of restoring the Soviet Empire is dyying. Hungry, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were once under the boot of Communist Tyranny, now they are part of N.A.T.O. Ukraine is Free Democratic Country. They are showing resistance to tyranny really means.
