Whit Friday celebrations still occur, but or not as common as Whitsun celebrations. For some reason they seem especially prevalent in northwestern England. There are many church and chapel parades which campe to be called whit walks. They normally, but not always occur on Whit Friday, the friday after Whitsun. The parades often include brass bands and choirs. The girls participate often dress in white. The boys traditionally dressed up, but did not normally wear white.
