The Apprentice Boys of Derry parade will make its way through Dunfermline city centre today (Saturday, June 3).
The Relief of Derry Parade is hosted by Kingdom of Fife No Surrender, with around 3000 people expected to take part.
It is likely to cause significant traffic disruption with several road closures being put in place to accommodate the parade. Some bus services will also be affected.
Starting at the Public Park at noon, the parade will go along West Drive, Comely Park, New Row and Canmore Street.
It's then likely to take a detour along Abbey Park Place due to the closures in place outside Khushi's following the recent fire.
It will then continue on to St Margaret Street, Monastery Street and into Pittencrieff Park. It will then pass the Peacock Rooms and onto Bridge Street, High Street, East Port and Viewfield Terrace, before returning to the Public Park for the governor salute.
A spokesperson for the event said the "peaceful, colourful procession" will see bands from Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland joining the participants.
The spokesperson added: "This will bring significant economic value to the area, with many hotels fully booked with travelling members coming from all over the world to attend this procession. We hope everyone has an enjoyable day and enjoys the music and colours of the Apprentice Boys."
Fife Council said that police and event organisers will be on hand throughout the day to ensure the event takes place safely.
It added that roads would be closed from noon and we will re-open as quickly as possible after the parade has finished. Anyone parking their car in the city centre before noon will not be able to move their car again until after the parade is finished.
The organisers did not need to obtain permission from the Council to hold their parade, but had to notify the council where the parade was to take place at least 28 days before the event (Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982).
A Council spokesperson said: "The right to parade in a public place including a road is protected by Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights which relates to freedom of public assembly."
