Manchester Day Mascot
The magical build-up continues
Last updated 6th Jun 2017
As Manchester gets ready to come together once again and celebrate all things Manchester the City's getting a little help from a little magical Mascot.
Trix will be the symbol of this year's Manchester Day, which carried the theme of Abracadabra.
The enchanted card will take over the event’s twitter feed (@Manc_Day) from today until the event on Sunday, 18 June becoming the voice of the city’s flagship summer celebration.
This year’s Manchester Day will also pay tribute to those killed, injured or affected by the terror attack at the Arena, as well as honouring the emergency services who worked around the clock to help.
It will also focus on the amazing and charmed achievements by Manchester people through history.
Now in its eighth year, Manchester Day is the event that best encapsulates the city’s pride, diversity, community spirit, strength and solidarity - a proud celebration of Manchester people and their shared history.

Cllr Pat Karney, Chair of Manchester Day, said: “TRIX has appeared mysteriously in the Manchester Day workshop, feeling the magic of the city - do doubt attracted by the call of Abracadabra by community groups working hard to create the incredible celebration of Manchester.
“Of course, Manchester Day doesn’t appear out of thin air and TRIX will be behind the scenes with all the news between now and 18 June - so be sure to follow @Manc_Day to keep up with the magic of Manchester Day.”
