Manchester’s magical Christmas Parade – THE heartwarming event of the festive season – is back for 2025 and set to delight children, families and anyone young at heart when it makes its way through the city’s streets on Sunday 7 December.
Now in its fourth year, the annual parade has been a festive favourite with Mancunians since first taking place in the city in December 2022 – and this year organisers are spreading the love and also giving community groups across the city a chance to join in and be part of the Christmas magic!
A call has gone out to community groups of all kinds to be part of the parade and play their part in helping fill the parade with Mancunian spirit, to help make the UK’s best Christmas Parade even more magical and amazing this year.
It promises to be jingle bells all the way on the day with a parade filled with music and laughter that will see the return of Manchester’s very own, spectacular Elf Express, complete with VIP passenger Santa hitching a ride on his way to the North Pole, together with his trusty team of elves.
