Upwards of 50 lodges from Donegal, Cavan, Leitrim and Monaghan, as well as visiting Orangemen from Northern Ireland and further afield, took part in the parade, which began close to St. John’s Parish Church at 12.30pm.
The parade made its way along country roads lined with supporters, to the demonstration field on the edge of the shoreline.
Platform proceedings and a religious service followed during the afternoon, with the return parade scheduled to commence at 4.45pm.
The service was conducted by Canon Rev. Brian Russell, Rector of Drumholm Parish and a collection was taken up in aid of Orange charities.
Various food and souvenir stalls were also located in the demonstration field as people of all ages soaked up the atmosphere.
The parade took place just two days before the demonstrations in Northern Ireland.
