Macclesfield Barnaby parade 2023

On Saturday 17th June 2023, Macclesfield will host the Barnaby Festival Parade welcoming around 800 parade participants with many more visitors lining the parade route.

The Barnaby Festival Parade will generate increased footfall across the town centre creating an amazing atmosphere. We would welcome businesses and homeowners along the route to help cheer on the parade as it passes.
