Made In Manchester Festival is back at Waterside Farm for its 6th year, landing on the August bank holiday weekend, Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August 2026.

Expect a lineup of top tributes to Manchester's biggest musical exports plus homegrown local talent and a headline set from the real JUDGE JULES, alongside a fairground, thrill rides, a kids' zone, VIP area, festival bars, a food court and the usual run of stalls and merch. New for this year is a Family Dog Show on the Sunday, hosted by PAWS Pennine Animal Welfare Society, raising funds for local animals in need.

Tickets run from free (under 12s go free all weekend) up to £110 for a VIP weekend pass, with day tickets, weekend tickets and a family weekend ticket also available, all on sale now.

Last entry is 8pm and there's free parking on site.
