St George’s Day parade in Manchester: when and where will it take place?
Taking place on Sunday 26th April, the major St George’s Day parade event is set to be “the biggest and best yet”, as Manchester’s communities come out in force to celebrate England’s patron saint – this year marking its 21st outing. The parade starts at noon on Varley Street in Miles Platting before winding its way into the city centre.
The parade will include a host of entertainers, musical performers, civic and cultural figures, as well as a showcase of England’s history and culture. From local scout troops, pipe bands and local school children, to a dragon float, Henry VIII and his six wives, to St George himself on his horse, there will be something for everyone
