 Hello everyone,

Here you can see some pics and one video of the Orange Parade celebrated on the twelfth of July in Belfast.

It is worth noting the shared folk.traditional aspects of the Orange Parade.

As you can see the flags and bunting decorating parades routes which also appear in other contexts in Ireland and abroad.

Orangemen and women march to a distinctive music, with folk and soldierly associations. Flute bands predominate nowadays but there is a long tradition of brass, silver, bagpipes and accordion bands that accompany marchers to their chosen field or destination. Speeches are also made and followers enjoy picnics.
