Council-run events have previously been held in eight parks including Heaton Park and Platt Fields Park
Public bonfire night s and fireworks organised by Manchester Council will not take place for another year.
Last year, as was the case in 2022, council-organised events for Bonfire Night were cancelled following a two-year lay-off during the pandemic.Councillor Lee-Ann Igbon, Executive Member for Vibrant Neighbourhoods said: "We won't be holding bonfires/fireworks events in November as we have reprioritised our funding to support and enhance the delivery of a wide range of free, community focused activities in parks across the city.
As an alternative, the council says it engaged with community partners to develop a programme of Autumn and Winter events in the wards which had previously held those events. In previous years such events have included pumpkin carving, Halloween in the City and the Christmas parade. It adds that the same approach has been adopted to develop the autumn and winter programme for 2024. The programme will launch in October with the half term holiday events kickstarting this years activity.
