The annual re-enactment, organised by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, included a pageantry parade to meet King William at the pier.
Participants included North Irish Dragoons, Edinburgh City Guard (Scotland), Earl of Loudens (Scotland), Kragfergus, Minstrel Boys and CHRAG Carrickfergus with the story all tied together by storyteller, Stephen Lalley.
Spectators stepped back in time to experience Schomberg’s Siege of 1689 with live cannon, musket firing and military encampments providing a peek at what life would have been like at that time in history.
The programme also featured an artisan market, performers, an outdoor cinema, face painting, a sensory play area, falconry displays, archery and a climbing wall.
