The parade has been a popular fixture in the city centre since 2010
The Manchester Day parade has been scrapped this year, but council bosses have now announced what's happening instead.
In a change from previous events, this year’s celebrations will see attractions dotted throughout the city centre during the day, from Deansgate, Exchange Square, to St Ann’s Square, running from 12pm to 9pm. Councillor Pat Karney, Chair of Manchester Day, said: “Manchester Day - On Holiday is already shaping up to be an amazing addition to Manchester’s summer calendar. If there is one thing this city knows how to do, it’s throw a party and I’m incredibly excited for the public to see what we have in store this summer.
The parade had been the focal element of previous Manchester Day events in the city, which was traditionally held in June.
