Map updated 17 August 2023 with more event times.
Paraders:
I extended the parade route beyond the Events Field, where the judges will be. Please continue past all viewers and pull ahead to let those behind you finish. There are several empty driveways on Kincardine Road where floats and vehicles can turn around.
BTW, I’ve added road closures to Google Maps.
Marchers should line up on Kincardine Road, not Manse Hill Road. See the new map version below. The Kincardine Road lineup location should be safer than dodging traffic on Manse Hill Road. However please be careful of traffic.
Please check back for any additional updates.
Businesses, groups, clans, families, and individuals,
Join our parade of marchers, vehicles, and floats on
Saturday 19 August 2023:

10:00 AM–Line up on the south side of Kincardine Road at Burns Hall.
10:30 AM–Parade begins.
The parade is about 1k starting at Burns Hall.
The Clan March should be about a third of a mile/half a kilometer.
Even if you haven’t signed up for the parade, come on up and we’ll slot you in 🙂

(Eastern Time Zone folks are an hour behind–that means if an event is listed at 11:00 AM Atlantic it is at 10:00 AM Eastern) So all you U.S. cousins: don’t be late 🙂
Updated 17 August 2023: more details on weekend events.
I’ve tried to add our venues, historic buildings, and road-closing information directly to Google Maps.
We changed the lineup location for parade and clan marchers. Marchers now line up on Kincardine Road before the junction with Manse Hill Road. Watch for traffic!
Saturday visitors: please use Manse Hill Road to drive to the Events Field and parade parking. This will avoid the parade lineup on Kincardine Road. Watch for children! See map below.
The Parade is Saturday 19th August 2023, 10:30 AM Atlantic Time
This is the civic address to the Event’s Field and parade parking:
260 Kincardine Road, Kincardine, NB E7H 2K5
Here’s a Google Maps link to the Events Field. Just fill in your location for directions (We’re located in Perth Parish in Southern Victoria County):

Sign up to march with your clan at the head of our parade.
Caution: When driving to/from Upper Kintore to/from Kincardine, avoid the Bon Accord Cross Road. There are reports of flooding and washouts. (Google Maps seems to prefer this route.) Use Kintore Road instead.
Calling all clans & cousins!
