The County Armagh demonstration – which will be held in Lurgan this year – is firmly established as the largest Orange gathering in the world.
Grand Master Most Wor. Bro. Edward Stevenson said: "I know that tens of thousands of people eagerly look forward to participating in our parades each year – and I am one of them.
"I do not believe there is any 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.
"It is a custom which has been maintained for over 200 years, passed through generations, and will continue to be upheld for many years to come.
“The high calibre of music provided by some of the finest marching bands in the country will certainly add to the festival atmosphere. We are really looking forward to another glorious Twelfth.”
