Hoodster 162 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 For info to those who like taking in parades - Quite possibly the biggest loyalist parade of the year is being held tomorrow in Airdrie. Parade starts at 12 noon. Over 50 bands plus ABOD members - approx 4000 on parade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite parade of the year to take in - always a smart parade. You will be tight for time - if the M8 isn't too bad you should just make it.
