Manchester Day returns on Saturday, July 29, with a new look and a full day of free family events. There will be no parade this year, instead Deansgate will be transformed into a "seaside destination", while huge animal puppets and performers will roam the city streets across the whole afternoon.

Themed as Manchester Day - on Holiday, the family-friendly events will all begin from 12noon, running until 6pm. Then from 6pm, the party will move into the Northern Quarter for the first Manchester Day evening of celebrations with a carnival atmosphere and live musical performances from creative arts specialists Walk the Plank.

Councillor Pat Karney, chair of the event said: "This year’s Manchester Day on Holiday promises to be the highlight of the city’s jam-packed summer schedule.
