The festival brings together residents, family, friends and the wider public to Didsbury Park come rain or shine, whilst raising money for local charities and supporting local businesses.

Every year the festival starts with a themed carnival procession which travels through the village down to Didsbury Park. The procession includes children from schools and groups from the local area, who dress up in their best eclectic carnival costumes to compete for the much-coveted best group trophy.

Registered Didsbury Traders will be selling the best local produce and treasures, as well as a range of stalls run by local charities and community groups
