After a few hours break after Ballysillans parade we headed of to Ballymena.

A hot night with a great turnout of nearly 70 bands. A big well done for such large numbers. I thought last year that it had improved but this year suprassed it completley.

The parade flowed freely all night and it was a good route with plenty of people watching. Bands such as the Mourne Young Defenders, Dunaghy, Pride of the Maine, South Belfast Young Conquerors and the Shankill star to name a few i seen. A band from the South of Ireland attended tonight for the very first time which was great to see.

Below is a selection of photographs of the band in action.
