July 12th was the traditional “King William of Orange” day to ride a white horse through town.

The Orange Institution (also known as the Orange Order or the Orange Lodge) is a Protestant fraternal organization based predominantly in Northern Ireland and Scotland. There were some lodges in the Commonwealth and the United States. 

The Orange Institution is seen as a sectarian organization because of its goals—and its exclusion of members of the Roman Catholic Church.
