The Manchester Day parade returned to the city center this afternoon after a three-year hiatus.
Thousands flocked to Manchester for an epic day of music, dance and expression. This year’s parade, which began at 13:00 in Deansgate, was dedicated to the young people of Manchester and will be based heavily on the ideas of Mancunian identity.
After leaving the intersection with Liverpool Road, it curves to the top of Deansgate before turning onto St Mary’s Gate (where Marx and Spencer are). Then turn right onto Cross Street, past the Royal Exchange Theater and King Street, before turning right onto John Dalton Street and then back down Deansgate, where it ends around 2:30 p.m.
