Parade is likely to include tons of music from various schools and marching bands around the area.  This will be a kid-friendly environment, intended to be fun for children and families so please note the public drinking ordinances and keep that in mind.  There will be time for beer after the parade, when everyone will get belligerent at local pubs around the area.  

You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the bagpipes on Sun at 1:30.

Please stay informed through this website and the official channels.  This site seeks to make information-seeking easier for the average citizen, by collecting valid information and making it easier to read and understand, putting it in one place, without over-editorializing.

Thanks and enjoy the parade.
