Co Tyrone – Clogher Valley
12 July 23 @ 10:00
Annual Battle of the Boyne Demonstration
- 2 Districts – Annahoe, Fivemiletown
- 23 Lodges
- 20 Bands
The Clogher Valley Twelfth is one of the smaller Twelfth celebrations with the two local districts, Fivemiletown and Annahoe joined by the visiting lodges from Trauagh District in Co. Monaghan.
In total 23 lodges accompanied by 20 bands are expected to turn the village into a kaleidoscope of colour and pageantry. However, what it lacks in numbers it certainly makes up for in the quality of the event.
The parade is noted for the excellence of the music and wide genre of bands that take part. The day as a whole is marked by a family friendly atmosphere and is often the opportunity for many families to be reunited with family members returning to their home area for the traditional Twelfth.
The parade will commence on Station Road at 12.15pm, making its way through the town to the Demonstration field
Bands and Lodge members will assemble at the Livestock Mart Car Park.
The procession on leaving the car park will make its way along Station Road turning right unto Main Street. The parade will proceed along the length of Main Street leaving the town on the Fivemiletown Road and making its way to Dunwoody’s Hill adjacent to the cricket pitch.
The return parade will retrace the route concluding at the Mart car park.
Platform proceedings take the form of a religious service starting at 2.15pm.
The return parade will leave the Demonstration field at 4.15pm.
