The St George's Day Parade in Manchester is set for Sunday, April 26, starting at 12 PM from Varley Street in Miles Platting. This year’s event, organized by the St George’s Day Committee with support from Manchester City Council, is anticipated to be the 'biggest and best' yet, featuring hundreds of participants including dancers, local organizations, and cultural figures. The parade will travel through the city center, passing key streets like Oldham Road and Piccadilly, showcasing England’s history and culture with costumes, pipe bands, and Morris dancers. In addition to the parade, a community fund has enabled various celebrations across Greater Manchester, including street parties and events supported by grants of up to £400. On St George's Day itself, April 23, the Cross Street Unitarian Chapel will host The Hey! Festival, featuring talks and music to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday. A family-friendly fun park will also be available on Varley Street, featuring rides and food stalls throughout the weekend.
