Manchester's legendary Dragon Parade will return to the city's streets to celebrate Chinese New Year for 2023 - for the first time in full for three years. Last year a smaller scale event took place in Chinatown - but for 2023 the parade with Dragon dancers will head back out through the city centre.
It will come amid a week of events to celebrate the Chinese New Year, which this year falls on Sunday, January 22. It will welcome in the Year of the Rabbit.
We can expect to see the return of the bright red lanterns across the city centre's busiest shopping streets as well as family-friendly events in the lead up and in the week after.
