This Saturday evening, our District will mark the centenary of Northern Ireland with a parade around the town.
The celebration, which has been delayed from last year, will feature Orangemen and women from across the local districts, along with a number of local bands.
Participants are to assemble in Mark Street by 7pm, ahead of the parade starting at 7.15pm.
