This is the Orange Order, a protestant and Ulster unionist/loyalist fraternity primarily based in Ireland, but exists throughout the commonwealth and a few tribes in former French west africa , most common in Scotland and Canada. This is a parade commemorating the Battle of the Boyne and the Williamite wars as a whole and the Glorious Revolution. Generally though it is a day of celebrating Ulster Unionist/Protestant Identity.

More a cultural/historical festival with religious affiliation (protestantism, it was seen as a victory for Protestant constitutional monarchy over a catholic king who supported absolute monarchy ) due to history and political history. And the Battle of the Boyne was 17th century.
