Manchester Day is back with a Catalan twist

Say ¡Hola! to a day of free family fun in the city centre on Sunday 26 July (12–5pm). Watch the much-loved parade fill the streets with eye-catching costumes, larger-than-life characters and show-stopping acts.

Enjoy live music, dance and pop-up performances across the city, with homegrown talent and artists from Barcelona’s iconic La Mercè festival. Plus, see stories leap off the page with book-inspired shows and activities celebrating the National Year of Reading.
