Mavemacullen Accordion Band members were invited to lead the main parade as they celebrate the band’s 70th anniversary this year, followed by visiting outfits from far and wide.
The evening was rounded off with a disco in Portadown Town Hall.
Photographer Tony Hendron went along to meet up with some of those who braved the weather to support the event.
