The day will start with the arrival of King Neptune from the South Bay in the morning at around 11am, to be greeted by the Town Crier.

Then, after a bell ringing and declaration ceremony, they will parade to the Spa suncourt by noon, where the Town Crier will invite all bearded persons and those who have great affection for beards to gather at 2pm to celebrate the beard.
