The Co Armagh demonstration is firmly established as the largest Orange gathering in the world
Preparations are well underway for this year's Twelfth of July celebration with hundreds of thousands of people expected to participate or spectate in 2024.
There are always approximately four Scottish bands on parade at the Co Armagh demonstration and as the “County of the Diamond” is well-renowned for the Lambeg drum, dozens will be accompanying the lodges, especially if the weather is favourable. The parade route is as follows: Assembly Field – Armagh Road - Main Street – Killylea Road - to the Demonstration Field. In the field, all the usual stalls and food venders will be set up. There will be a number of activities for children and as always impromptu band and Lambeg drum rehearsals.
