Manchester's favourite day of the year is set to return this year after a two-year absence due to Coronavirus. The free event on 19 June promises to be bigger and better than ever before, and this time, in recognition of everything the city's children and young people have had to go through during the pandemic, it's going to be dedicated to them as part of 2022 Our Year.
The day will once again include the legendary Manchester Day Parade, which will as always weave its way in spectacular fashion through the city's streets, and young people across the city are being offered an exclusive chance to help make and shape the parade over the next few months, or to play a starring role on the day.
The callout for any youth or community groups who want to take part in the parade and workshops closes on 11 February 2022.
