As far as I know it is the same route every year they go from the riverside up Henrietta Street down Louisburgh st along the main st up to Argyll square and then along to the assembly rooms.Don't quote me on it tho lol x

[Thumper]

Will have to watch out for you on the night then Dark Angel! You have me guessing now as to which float!lol x

Heard that the route was being shortened this year Floats going down Green road this year instead of Girnigoe Street something to do with the foot collectors don't know if this is confirmed ?

Thats a shame, a lot of old folk in Girnigoe st and Louisburgh st have always watched the floats from their gardens.

I am on a float AGAIN this year and can't wait although I am stressed out with painting and sewing, but it is one of the best nights of the year, and excellent crack. You can make a fool of yourself (within reason) and no-one cares. Once you have been on a float you never want to watch again, I had to watch the floats for 2 years as I was highly pregnant and to say I felt pig sick is an understatement. Lets hope it is a dry night for Saturday.
