The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has released full details for all parades taking place on the Twelfth of July this year across NI.
Thousands of people will take part in parades, with many tens of thousands more spectating.
Bands and marchers will take to the streets at 18 locations in Northern Ireland’s six counties to mark the 334th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
This year Dundonald will host a Twelfth demonstration for the first time in more than 50 years.
It will join other venues including Belfast, Ballymena, Kesh, Coleraine, Keady Coagh, Sixmilecross, Augher, Dromara, Dundrum, Kilkeel, Cullybackey, Rasharkin, Carnlough, Lisburn, Glengormley and Maghera.
The Twelfth demonstrations follow the traditional Rossnowlagh parade held in Co Donegal on Saturday.
Looking to The Twelfth, Senior Operational Meteorologist at the Met Office, Becky Mitchell, said: “At the moment, Saturday is most likely to be dry, warm and sunny with light winds.
“Temperatures are most likely to be in the low to mid 20s.
“However there is currently a small chance that rain may start to move in from the west towards the end of the day.”

In terms of the overall forecast for the week, Ms Mitchell said: “This coming week is expected to be largely dry, and increasingly sunny and warm across Northern Ireland.
“Monday will be dry and windy with plenty of sunny spells. The wind will make it feel rather cool with a top temperature of 19 Celsius.
“Tuesday and Wednesday may turn a little cloudier with a few spots of light rain, and temperatures slowly climbing into the low 20s.

“Thursday, Friday and Saturday are expected to be dry and sunny as high pressure builds in. Temperatures are currently forecast to reach to low 20s in the sunshine, possibly getting close to the mid 20s for the start of the weekend.
“Sunday is currently uncertain – dry and sunny weather may hang on, or we may start to see rain push in from the west.”
