Face painting and badge providing are doing a brisk trade.
Orangefest's organisers hoped yesterday's controversial party would be a way to attract new members and gather existing members for a rare sunday.
To its detractors it was the actual celebration of bigotry and intolerance which would, undoubtedly, end up in a drunken brawl. It was, in the end, neither. To acquire a festival where the Lambeg drum appeared prominently it went more which has a whimper than a bang. There was nothing, if any, of the infamous 'bevying'.
Henry Dunbar, Grand Master within your Orange Order in Glasgow, imparted to the Sunday Herald, "We am now living in a country where there's freedom akin to speech, and, I suppose, everyone is eligible to their opinion. We have had the few difficulties this week. People see a varied view from ours. "
"The Orange Order has never been under stronger attack than it is today" indicates Sir Knight J. G. Maclean, from the Provincial Grand Black Element of Scotland.
Look at all the hefty, good work that the order does, he admits that. There are members of his own part in Uganda, the Sir Dark night adds, there selflessly, and in the Orangeism to help the impoverished siblings form a flute band, "hopefully soon we can get them over to Scotland".
Earlier in the week the Orange coloured Order had told the fit that capacity was 2, thousand. We reach capacity at close 2 . 30pm with queues manufacturing.
"We've all got something quite simply dirty and wrong in our past", says the female singer from Kairos Praise Band talking to the staff, "God is love. God's completely love is patient, it keeps never record of wrong. And that's cool because the amount of wrong things We have all done it's just so good in which it God doesn't choose to remember them".
It's not clear exactly what she's realized.
Following Kairos is headline procedure Ruth Dudley Edwards, an Irish journalist, historian and crime contributor, her book, the Faithful Group, is, according to publishers, an intimate image of the Orange Order.
"I were basically appalled by that petition from this culture and heritage day" states to sustained and loud applause, "it was founded on ignorance, bigotry" and symptomatic of people who voted understand in the referendum. "I hope Nicola Sturgeon will be reining in these type of people".
Dudley Edwards reads out a few tweets she's received: " 'Got your sash ready for Saturday hatefest against Catholics. Up to your knees present in Irish blood'. Enjoy. Well Making it very say, this is no weather in support of wading in anybody's blood.
"Of course, like any group, you have the share of bigots and thugs, they do you a lot of harm. You understand exactly who I'm talking about. And the white stuff fuelled hangers on. But as a whole the Orange Order are hefty and kind people who I am grateful to successfully know".
It ends with a banner celebration and a "last night of the proms" style sing-a-long. There are incredible these people : on the banners: Northern Purple Game figures, Springburn Star of Freedom, Children of Scotia, Easterhouse Truth Defenders.
As the Will Fyffe version akin to I Belong To Glasgow plays inside the PA it becomes abundantly clear which organisers haven't listened to more than the preliminary minute. The song ends together with sort of observational comedy that bumped them dead in the Glasgow music and songs halls of the 30s plays for three minutes to an increasingly mystified crowd. Eventually it fades this can down and the Black Skull Corps of Fife and Drum hold Abide With Me followed by two presque of God Save The King.
Orangefest, the organiser says, was obviously a success. Glasgow City Council have to have likely expect an application for Orangefest 2016 in the coming weeks. It really is.
