The Twelfth 2010

The Twelfth 2010Hundreds of thousands of people are celebrating the Twelfth across Northern Ireland today.

From Hillsborough to Broughshane, thousands of Orangemen have dusted off their bowler hats and sashes — while band members have practiced their last tunes — in anticipation of the grand festivities.

Under the rebranding of the Twelfth, five demonstrations — Hillsborough, Portrush, Cookstown, Newtownstewart and Antrim — have been selected as flagship celebrations. There will be 13 other smaller parades in various locations across the province — Ballymena, Ahoghill, Bushmills, Broughshane, Belfast, Lurgan, Ballygawley, Ballygowan, Brookeborough, Newtownards, Waringstown, Kilkeel and Garvagh — which will see thousands of Order members and supporters turn the streets into rivers of orange.

The flagship demonstrations aim to create a family-friendly atmosphere at the events, with help from the Northern Ireland Tourist Board and Tourism Ireland.
