Separate processions will start in the east, west, north and south and head towards the city centre.
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.
And around 300 members of the County Grand Lodge of Glasgow youth section will march from Townhead to Glasgow Green via George Square, High Street, and Saltmarket.
This march is set to begin an hour and 45 minutes before the World Refugee Day procession.

Brits warned not to travel to holiday hotspot as world-famous tourist attraction is closed
Holidaymakers travelling to Greece this summer have been warned to brace themselves for extreme heat. Though the popular hotspot sees millions of UK tourists visiting each year for sea, sand and sun, temperatures are expected to be higher than usual over the coming weeks. Good Morning Britain travel expert, Simon Calder, shared on an X post on Sunday that extreme heat in the capital, Athens, had lead to the temporary closure of a world-famous tourist attraction. He wrote: 'Extreme heat in Greece: Acropolis in Athens closing in five minutes, at 12 noon local time, until 5pm "due to high temperatures for the safety of employees and visitors".' The Met Office reported the capital experienced highs of 37C on Sunday, is expected to sees similar temperatures today, and will sit between 32C and 35C for the remainder of the week. Last week, the mercury hit a blistering 44C high in Athens, while a wildfire ripped though a northern suburb of the capital on Saturday. Shocking pictures show homes ablaze while residents of the town of Kryoneri, 12.5miles northeast of Athens, received three SMS warnings to evacuate. Some 145 firefighters, 44 fire engines, ten firefighting planes and seven helicopters remain on site, with Greece asking for six more such planes from the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. A man drinks water to cool down as thousands of tourists wear hats and carry umbrellas for protection as they visit the Acropolis during the worst heatwave of the season Fire Service spokesperson Vassilis Vathrakoyannis said 'the real difficulties are ahead of us', as the hot, dry, windy conditions 'are expected to prevail over the coming days.' The high temperatures in Greece last week forced the iconic Acropolis to close for five hours from midday on Tuesday and Wednesday. In addition, strict new rules were implemented to protect workers from the heat. Couriers, food delivery riders and builders in the wider area of Athens and other regions were among those ordered to pause work from midday until 5pm.

UK weather maps show areas set to sizzle in 30C heatwave within days
Brits have seen plenty of hot and dry weather so far this year and there is more ahead with a blistering 30C heat bomb set to hit parts of the country in the coming days A weather map shows where Brits are set to swelter as a blistering 30C heat bomb hits the country in the coming days. The UK so far has seen several heatwaves this year and the hottest day was recorded at St James's Park in London on July 1 where the mercury reached 34.7C, while parts of Essex and Kent also topped 33C. In recent weeks the weather has remained largely warm but it has also been mixed with some torrential downpours. And now maps show a return to dry and sunny conditions in early August with high pressure expected to build - especially across southern areas of the country. Maps from WXCHARTS weather maps have turned a deep red colour indicating that millions will soon bask in balmy weather. The mercury is set to soar on Tuesday August 5 with temperatures forecast to be in the high 20Cs by midday. Large swathes of southern and central England are likely to experience a significant temperature spike. At 12pm on August 5, London as well as Surrey, Cornwall and Devon will already see highs of 26C. While the rest of south west and south east England are expected to see temperatures peak at 25C. The east of England and south Wales will also see 25C whilst the Midlands will be a degree cooler at 24C. By 6pm temperatures are predicted to be in the 30Cs. Southampton, Bournemouth, Oxford, Gloucester and Cheltenham will also bask in 30C weather, while the south east and east of England will see highs of 28C. Cities in the south west, including Bath and Bristol, could potentially see temperatures hit 30C, with 29C forecast. The east and west Midlands will not miss out on the heatwave with highs of 28C likely. Parts of south and mid Wales will bask in 27C weather. Elsewhere, Yorkshire and the Humber will see the mercury hover around 22C. The northwest will be significantly cooler, with temperatures forecast to reach only a rather miserable 17C. And the balmy weather will not end there as at 6pm on Wednesday, August 6, the mercury will hover between 27C and 28C for those in southern England. Meanwhile, in the Midlands highs of 27C forecast but for those in the north west it will not see the mercury reach the 20s with highs of 17C likely. Separately, in the Met Office's weather outlook for this period, the forecaster said: "During early August, high pressure may start to have greater influence as it builds northeast across the country. This is bringing more prolonged settled spells to many areas. Breeziest conditions across the north of the country. Temperatures generally near average, though with some warmer spells likely."
