About 60,000 people have attended the Manchester Caribbean Carnival this weekend. Dancers and musicians performed during the two-day free event in and around Alexandra Park in Moss Side. The annual festival started in 1972 to celebrate the Caribbean community, heritage and music.

Throughout the two-day celebration there will be a host of live entertainment, delicious food stalls, artisan vendors and a family zone filled with activities and rides to enjoy. As ever, the event will also feature opportunities to honour Caribbean heritage as well as pay homage to community pioneers.

The parade will then make its way back down to the Embankment via Bunbury Street, returning to the Carnival Village via Wilford Grove. Entertainment will include singer Etana and
