Players, coaches, officials and fans braved the wet weather to enjoy Sunday night's SuperCupNI welcoming parade and opening ceremony.
It was a night for the umbrellas but it did little to deter the enjoyment of the young footballers as they became stars for the evening.
The traditional parade started at the Diamond before moving to the Showgrounds where some of the teams were introduced to the hundreds of fans.
Former Manchester United star Nicky Butt was in attendance to officially open this week's tournament.
Butt - a graduate from the 1991 SuperCupNI - unfurled the tournament flag and got his photograph taken with fans.
The SuperCupNI kicks off on Monday with games in the Minor, Junior and Premier sections.
There is also a challenge match between Ballymena United and Manchester United U23's at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Monday night.
