Weather

The weather is always an issue at these outdoor events so below is the current forecast for Sunday. Its giving it dry and cloudy but warm and some showers in the morning so hopefully it will be dry.

Parade Route

Its the same route as last year, it will begin at the competition venue on Circular Road, then turn right onto Upper Square, then left down Main Street up to Castlewellan lodge. If its like last years parade there will be hundreds lining the streets in the sunshine again.
