A crowd of more than 10,000 people are expected to descend on Rossnowlagh on Saturday for the annual Orange Order Parade.
The south Donegal seaside town traditionally sees their march on the last Saturday before the main July 12th celebrations.
More than 50 Orange Order Lodges from Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan, as well as visiting Orangemen from Northern Ireland and further afield, are expected to gather for the annual march.
This year will see numerous international Orange visitors to Rossnowlagh as they are in Northern Ireland to attend the meeting of the Imperial Grand Lodge. This will include visiting Brethren from Australia, America and Canada.
The event is expected to start at 12.30pm near St John’s Parish Church.
The lodges will then hold their annual demonstration before a religious service takes place at 3pm. The service will be conducted by the Rev. Brian Russell, Rector of Drumholm Parish.
The event will be led by Donegal Orange Order County Grand Master David Mahon.
Extra Gardaí will be drafted into the area to cater for increased traffic and crowds across the weekend.
