Halloween in the City is a thriving family-friendly festival of culture and arts that sweeps the city every October.

We may be a global social agency, but Manchester will always be our hometown. It’s a place known for many things… Music. The Industrial Revolution. Football. Monsters? 

The annual festival sees skeletons march down the streets and monsters descending upon rooftops, all in celebration of the spookiest day of the year.

It is the creation of a showstopping collaboration between creatives and our local enterprising community.

Local venues and retailers work alongside Manchester Businesses Improvement District (BID), Manchester City Council, Transport for Greater Manchester, and Marketing Manchester to bring the spirit of Halloween to the city.

We loved getting involved this year, creating a spooky short animation promoting the event on Manchester’s bustling Market Street.
