At 12.00pm from Bishopton Primary School, the Bishopton Princess and a Kilbarchan Pipe band lead the parade through the village to the ROF Field. On their arrival at the ROF Field where the Gala Day is held, the participants were judged. Prizes were awarded to the best entrants. £100 prize for best float. Second prize £50. Third prize £25.

Fancy Dress - individuals, groups and families took part in the Parade in fancy dress, also in the 'World Cup' theme. Cash prizes were won.
 
Thousands came to see Jez Avery, world class PRO BMX, Trials & Mountainbike rider turned Stunt-Show performer; Gleniffer Dog Agility Club's display; Kilbarchan Pipeband; Scottish Wrestling Alliance display; Cheerleaders; live bands and much more. It was a fantastic way to end Bishopton Week celebrations.
