A police statement added: "Participants will then head along Holywood Road, Newtownards Road, Albertbridge Road, Templemore Avenue, Castlereagh Street and Castlereagh Road to Willowfield Street where there will be a further short service.
"The final leg of the parade will then move down Woodstock Road, Beersbridge Road, Templemore Avenue, Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road towards The Mount, where the parade will disperse at around 1.00pm.
"A diversion will be in place on Holywood Road, at Park Avenue; however diverted traffic will only be permitted to flow cityward for the duration of the parade."
Sergeant Bradley added: "Where possible, seek an alternative route for your journey. If you need to travel in the area, please note the above route and allow additional time for your journey, particularly if you are travelling to George Best Belfast City Airport.
“Motorists should also be aware that resurfacing works on the Sydenham Bypass mean that its citybound lanes will be closed this weekend, between Tillysburn and the M3. This is likely to cause further delay in the area."
