The main Twelfth of July demonstration will take place in Irvinestown this year.
It is almost time for the biggest day in Northern Ireland's parading calendar as preparations continue to get underway for the Twelfth of July.
Irvinestown also has the pleasure of playing host to visiting lodges from the Republic of Ireland, representing Co Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan and Monaghan and their bands. Southern Brethren – who traditionally take pride of place at the front of the main parade – will join with 90 private lodges, members of the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland and approximately 60 bands in one of the larger demonstrations across the province.
Attending the event will be many members of the Imperial Grand Orange Lodge which is meeting in Co Fermanagh this year. There will also be entertainment for children on the day, with musical entertainment on the Main Street. Return parade will get underway at 3pm, finishing at approximately 4.30pm.
