Major Events
Manchester stages the best events and we are part of the picture.
CityCo, Manchester City Centre BID and Manchester Accommodation BID are proud to support the city’s civic and cultural events including Manchester Day, Manchester Pride and Christmas in the city.
We also stage our own public events to add vibrancy and help attract extra footfall and custom to our cross-sector business networks – all year round.
We are proud to have staged some of the most innovative and PR-grabbing installations in town. Take a look at:
Chinese New Year giant Tiger and Piglet, Golden Dragon and Light Show
Halloween #MCRMonsters and Halloween Haunted Maze
Looney Tunes and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles street art trails
Festive Sundays
The Manchester Flower Festival festival
Student shopping events with Manchester Arndale
Pride celebrations in the city
The King Street Festival
The city’s first urban Show Gardens at Dig the City
Our canalside Float-In, Drive-In Movie
We have also helped to stage the Chanel’s Metier D’Arts Show and Vogue Fashion’s Night Out and supported the citywide Bee in the City.
