1261 Festival and Parade!

The 2026 Macclesfield 1261 Festival and Parade was an amazing day! Filled with so many wonderful events, our heads are still spinning!

The parade was cheered on by thousands of visitors and residents who packed the streets as the loud and colourful parade made their way around the town centre.

The event was organised by Macclesfield Town Council and supported by numerous businesses and community organisations across the town.

We look forward to the return of the 1261 Festival and Parade in 2027 and will announce details as soon as they are confirmed!

2026

Co-ordinated by Macclesfield Community ArtSpace. Get ready to line the streets to cheer on the 1261 Parade!

For the last few months the team at Macclesfield Community ArtSpace have been working with groups from all over town to help them get parade-ready! ArtSpace volunteers have been pitching in, delivering workshops, designing and making props, manning drop-ins, tidying up and making cups of tea!

The theme for this year’s parade is Films and it’s up to each group to decide how that theme is interpreted.
