Brethren, Sisters and Friends,
We are approaching the The Twelfth of July once again and this year we will celebrate the 335th anniversary of King William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne.
​
Our Twelfth of July celebrations are an event like no other.
Across the 19 venues, we will have tens of thousands of men, women and young people taking part in an event which has been faithfully maintained for well over 200 years.
​
​
Many thousands more will line the streets of host cities, towns and villages. There is simply no other event on these islands that can bring such vast numbers of people onto the streets as our processions, either by taking part or simply to watch them go by.
With the continuing growth of the Junior Orange movement we can say with confidence that this is a tradition that will continue to be upheld for many years to come.
Most Wor. Bro. Stevenson will be close to home this year as he parades with his own District, Newtownstewart.
The 18 demonstrations on Saturday, 12 July 2025, will be held in:
Augher, Ballymena, Belfast, Carnlough, Coagh, Coleraine, Cullybackey, Dromara, Dundonald, Dundrum, Glengormley, Keady, Kesh, Kilkeel, Lisburn, Maghera, Rasharkin, & Sixmilecross.
The Twelfth demonstrations will follow the traditional Rossnowlagh parade held in the Republic of Ireland on the preceding weekend. This year the annual Donegal procession takes place on Saturday, 5th July.
