They will merge together at Holland Street in the Blythswood Hill area before setting off at 1.55 pm.
Around 900 marchers will follow the 'colour party' along George Street, High Street, and Castle Street, eventually crossing Cathedral Square to Glasgow Evangelical Church.
But the Orange Walk isn't the only event causing disruption.
Saturday will also see a number of marches across the city.
Thousands of revellers are expected to march for World Refugee Day through Glasgow.
Participants will gather at Barrowland Park around midday before setting off at 1pm, with more than 2,000 people expected to take part.

Met Office warns of flooding and damage to buildings today despite 32C heatwave

The weather may change abruptly in your area today and on Sunday, so much so that around 20mm of rain will fall in just a few hours across parts of Lancashire, the Met Office says Some regions should prepare for flooding today - despite the scorching 32C heatwave, forecasters say. A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms blankets large swathes of England as a band of low pressure will abruptly end the sunny spell. Although temperatures peaked at 32C on Thursday in west London, today's picture will be a mixed bag - and it is largely a north-south divide. ‌ Sweltering highs of 33C are anticipated in and around London but it will be cooler - and wetter - across northern regions. With the drop in temperatures will come rain, heaviest over Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria. These areas, in addition to several others, are subject to the weather warning for storms which, like last Saturday's alert, is in place because of significant hazards. ‌ "There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds... There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost," the Met Office website reads. The storms will be scattered from around 3pm and linger throughout the night. Hail and gales are likely in some areas, particularly across the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The weather warning continues: "Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. There is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads. "The most intense thunderstorms could produce frequent lightning, large hail and gusty winds, along with some heavy downpours for a time. This may lead to some surface water impacts in places." Further rain - albeit less heavy - is expected across the same regions on Sunday afternoon. North Wales will also see showers on Sunday, marking an end in these parts to the glorious weather most of the country has experienced recently. But Brits across southern England, and parts of the Midlands, will dodge showers for the whole weekend, forecasters say. The warmest regions will be the Southeast of England and East of England but it will also be pleasant across the Midlands and Southweast of England. Drizzle is anticipated across south Wales this afternoon. The Mirror reported yesterday how another band of low pressure will eventually creep across the UK from the southwest and, as a result, vicious thunderstorms will batter other areas soon. Weather maps show around 30mm of rain - more than half an average June's total - will lash across parts of the Midlands, the Home Counties and the East of England on Saturday June 28. It clashes with Glastonbury - and Somerset is expected to see some wet weather that weekend.

Second UK heatwave could send temperatures to 39C as weather maps unveil date

Weather maps indicate that the latest uncomfortable heatwave may not be the worst of the year so far, as temperatures seem set to increase by a sweltering nearly 10C in July A second heatwave arriving hot on the heels of the UK's current scorching mess could send temperatures spiralling close to 40C, turning weather maps black and crimson. The last few days have seen the mercury increase exponentially, with temperatures surging upwards from highs of 24C last week to 31C on Thursday - a dramatic increase of nearly 10C. Despite some slight relief on Friday, temperatures are again expected to rise on the weekend, beating the already noteworthy highs as the southeast hits 32C. The sweltering conditions could look like child's play in less than a month's time, however, with a menacing 39C forecast looming on the horizon. ‌ ‌ The latest maps from WXCharts show that, once the current heatwave runs its course this weekend, another will start developing just over two weeks from now. The maps for July 3 show extreme temperatures from continental Europe will cross the English Channel, sending temperatures back to the high 20C-low 30C range widely. Typically chillier Scotland will heat up to 27C, while southern and central parts of England and Wales will bathe in uncomfortable 30C to 39C highs. But, unlike the latest heatwave, the worst of the heat blast seems most likely to hit central England, with the Midlands warming up to a stifling 39C. Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Tamworth and Leicester, among several other towns in that immediate area, will shoulder the burden of the blowtorch blast. People living further south won't get much relief in comparison, with highs rising to between 34C to 37C on the south coast, and between 30C to 38C from the Welsh border to London. Even areas further north of Birmingham will feel the heat, with temperatures in Liverpool and Manchester heating up to 37C, and the northeast coast to between 31C and 38C. While it doesn't mention specific temperatures, the Met Office long-range forecast, which covers June 25 to July 4, does warn of more "occasional very warm weather", with "bursts of hotter air" set to push towards the UK from Europe. ‌ The forecast states: "Rather changeable conditions are anticipated through this period, as a series of Atlantic low pressure systems pass largely to the northwest of the UK. These will tend to bring some occasional rain or showers, most frequent in northwestern areas where it may also be rather breezy or windy at times. "Whilst some rain or showers will be possible farther south and east, here longer drier spells are more likely, under the influence of higher pressure." The forecast adds: "There is also the chance of some occasional very warm weather, as south or southwesterly winds allow brief bursts of hotter air to encroach from the continent, but probably fairly short-lived and perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times."

I'm a gardening pro – this is exact amount of seconds to water plants for during a heatwave & the best time of day

Plus we reveal UK's best new plants on the market - and scroll down to win a Lawnscare flower bundle HOT STUFF I'm a gardening pro – this is exact amount of seconds to water plants for during a heatwave & the best time of day Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) It's been really hot this week and the plants are really feeling it. High temperatures can cause wilting, leaf scorch, stunted growth and a reduced ability to photosynthesis.

If you've got plants in pots - move them into the shade - and group them together - so they give each other protection. Water early in the morning before it starts getting really hot - so it doesn't all evaporate - or if that's not an option - when the sun's gone down. However morning is the best option - as slugs move around at night and love the damp soil. It's best to give them a really good soaking once or twice a week rather than a light water daily. And experts reckon you should count to between 20 and 25 seconds as you water each plant - to make sure the water soaks down through the soil to the roots. It's not what we want - but there's no problem with letting your lawn go brown - if it's healthy it will cope - and the green will return when there's a bit of rain. Raise your mower's cutting level and let the cuttings fall as mulch on the lawn - to keep in moisture. Keep weeding - so they're not competing with the plants you want in your outside space. Save and store any rainwater to reuse in your garden. If you don't have room for a water butt - just leave a few brightly coloured buckets around to catch any rain. 6 ways to get rid of slugs and snails Or you could splash out on a dipping tank - which looks lovely and stories water. You could also set up an irrigation system - although these are costly - but a leaky hose can work just as well. Choose drought tolerant plants like Agapanthus, Lavender, Geums and hardy Geraniums.
