With the Olympic Flame burning it's way through Newry this evening and tomorrow again here is a bit of a summary of what's happening where and when, and remember everything is free so get out, brave the slight drizzle and join in!
Today from 3pm to 6pm there is a Beat on the Street at Newry Town Hall.
After that the Torch Relay will be getting under way at 6.25 from Windsor Avenue arriving at Pairc Esler at 6.50pm where Newry's own Ryan Cinnamond will be the last torchbearer of the day as he carries the flame into the stadium.
From 5.30pm there will be a concert at Pairc Esler with headline act General Fiasco and several local acts. It's a ticket only affair.
Tomorrow Wednesday there is a Concert for Schoolchildren at the Town Hall at 11.30am and the Torch will arrive back in Newry at 1.30pm from Dublin.
From 1.40pm there will be a lap of honor as the torch travels via Hill Street and Merchants Quay and then The Mall, Sugar Island and Kildare Street. It will leave the city just after 2pm.
