Where's the carnival?

I went to have a look at the local carnival and parade today - but should have made the effort to head into town for Manchester Day instead.

The parade link I clicked unfortunately took me to the 2018 route and I didn't notice last years date in tiny letters.  I wondered why there were no crowds lining the route and all the roads were open!    

I spotted some lovely flowers on the way back to the car at least.
