The event itself starts on Friday evening with a bowling competition in St. Patrick’s Church Hall. Then the fun day on Saturday begins with a fancy dress parade from the Community Centre to a field on the Rathkeel Road. This procession will take place at 2pm and will be led by the Broughshane District Pipe Band. Once the procession reaches the field there will be an array of activities to keep children and adults occupied from bouncy castle to tug of war. The Grand Lodge of Ireland will have its Education Trailer in the field for people to learn more about the Order and its activities.

All children will receive a prize for their participation, so remember to get along to the field for a fabulous fun day.

In the afternoon in the village a Lambeg drumming competition will be held. With excellent prize money.

it is sure to attract drummers from all over the county.
