"It will be a great event for the community as it will be seen as a celebration after the difficult time we have been through for the past two years.

"The theme for this year's Parade is 'Community Spirit' , this will give organisations the opportunity to remember the many difficult and good challenges faced by the community in recent times" states Cllr O' Brien, who is Parade Secretary.
