550 parades are taking place today and thousands of Orangemen will take part.
Marchers in Belfast will not be allowed walk back through the Ardoyne on the return leg – after a decision by the Parades Commission earlier this week.
In recent years there has been serious rioting in the nationalist Ardoyne area after the parade.
