Coleraine Twelfth Festival is a fun-filled, varied programme of events in the week leading up to the 12th of July. The festival was held for the first time in 2006 and has continued to grow and is now firmly established as one of the most popular events in the local area.

By showcasing our culture and heritage in an enjoyable and educational way, we hope to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions attached to the Orange Order, and provide an opportunity for everyone to participate in this traditional holiday period.

Sunshine was the order of the day for Coleraine No.2 District LOL's tremendously successful 'flagship' Twelfth in Portrush, when they were joined by Lodges and bands from City of Londonderry Grand Orange Lodge (comprising 5 districts including Donegal), Limavady and Macosquin.

About 60,000 people lined the streets of the popular North Coast resort to watch the colourful parade as it made it's way along the 4 mile route to the Field at Magheraboy Road.
