About
Coagh may be one of County Tyrone's smaller villages, but on the Twelfth of July, it will proudly host the largest Orange celebration in the county. This year's event is set to be a colourful, musical, and deeply meaningful day of tradition, remembrance, and community.
The Main Parade will be at 12:30pm from Ruskey Road, just outside the village in County Londonderry, along Tamlaght Hill, Coagh Bridge, Main Street, Drumconvis Road to the Demonstration Field.
What makes Coagh unique is that the parade literally crosses a county line, it begins in County Londonderry and crosses into County Tyrone as it passes over Coagh Bridge—a symbolic step into tradition!
With over 70 Lodges and 50 Bands are expected to take part, making this one of the largest processions in the Province.
The parade will be led by County Officers and visiting dignitaries, followed by Women's LOL District's, Lodges from Killyman District LOL No.1, Stewartstown District LOL No.2, Cookstown District LOL No.3 , Castlecaulfield District LOL No.4, Pomeroy District LOL No.5, Benburb District LOL No.13, and of course, Coagh District LOL No.10.
A notable presence will come from the growing number of Junior Lodges, reflecting the bright future of Orangeism in Tyrone.
Coagh are honoured to be joined by Rt. Wor. Bro. Derek Reaney, new County Grand Master of Tyrone (Newtownstewart District LOL No.9), Sister Joan Beggs, Grand Mistress of the Association of Loyal Orangewomen of Ireland and Rt. Wor. Bro. Robert Abernethy, Past County Grand Master of Tyrone.
The platform proceedings will begin at 2:30pm in the Demonstration field (Drumconvis Road). The religious service will be led by Bro. Rev. Tom Greer and Tamlaghtmore Silver Band will provide music during the platform proceedings with Resolutions and speeches to follow.
The return parade will start at approximately 3:45pm along Drumconvis Road, Main Street and disperse at Cookstown Road. Which is a fitting end to a powerful day of fellowship and celebration.
This marks the first Twelfth celebration in Coagh since 2016, delayed from its 7-year rotation due to the pandemic — making it nine years since the last local Twelfth. Anticipation and excitement are high as the village prepares to welcome thousands of spectators and participants alike.
Whether you're attending for the tradition, the music, the message, or the family atmosphere – Coagh's Twelfth is set to be a highlight of the summer calendar.
Bring your flags, your friends, and your cameras – this is a day to remember!
