This year the band have decided to return to their roots with their traditional parade and have postponed the afternoon Ulster Scots festival that normally accompanied the parade for the interim. However that is not to say there will be any less of an abundance of top quality music because as usual there will be music in the early evening with performances at Castlecroft from Baillies Mills Accordion Band from 6pm to 7.30pm.

From 6.30 pm the focus will switch to High Street where there will be music provided by Churchill Flute Band from this year’s UK City of Culture and Ballyhalbert Flute band from the low country on the Ards peninsula.

The main parade of bands this year will follow the usual route through the town and will be led by Churchill Flute Band. The parade will move off from the Showgrounds at 7.30 pm.

They would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ballymoney Borough Council for their sponsorship.
