2010 Relief of Derry Celebrations

relief of derry parade

The annual Relief of Derry Celebrations will be held this year on Saturday 14th August.

The celebrations this year mark the 321st anniversary of the ending of the Siege of Derry in 1689. Coming at the end of yet another packed Maiden City Festival the day will follow much the same format as previous years, including the parade on the Walls, service of thanksgiving in St Columb's Cathedral and one of the biggest parades in Northern Ireland.

Full details of the day's events can be found in the Relief of Derry feature.

Online Broadcast

This year again there will be a live broadcast of the parade on this website; more details will be posted later in the week.
