Orangemen’s Day is a public holiday that is observed on the Monday prior to the 12th of July –sometimes held during the winter in areas where people work in the cod fishing industry– in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It memorializes the Battle of the Boyne, which betided in 1960, and it is usually celebrated by Protestants who espouse the Orange Order.
On that day, Lodges of the Orange Order arrange parades in pre-determined routes, where they march along with a marching band, and carrying banners with the symbol of the Orange Order. Afterwards, family celebrations –yclept “Times”– are organized by the lodges, which are comprised of communal meals, picnics, and dancing.
