A two-day special edition of the Geronimo Family Festival is coming to Heaton Park this summer.
The event is slated to take place on the weekend of June 26-27, a week after the government proposed lifting all social restrictions.
It promises to be a fun family festival with stage shows, arena demonstrations, live music on the main stage, craft tents, donkey rides, camel races, monster truck shows, a fun fair and the world’s largest bouncy castle.
A 20,000 liter mermaid tank with displays on display throughout the day is expected to be a highlight of the event, along with the monster truck arena, two full circuses, tournament knights, a wild west reenactment arena and a high wire walker, which occurs without a performance safety net.

There will also be DJ sets from Craig Charles, Bez from Happy Mondays, Clint Boon and “other big Manchester names to be announced”.
The organizers say the festival’s most popular zone will be the main stage, where families can watch children’s TV presenters Sam and Mark, watch the live rock band Rockakoke, and sing along to a giant frozen.
Artisan Food Trucks will be available for all dietary needs and there will be a craft beer garden for those who want to have a beer.
Tickets, which cost £ 15 or £ 55 for a family of four, include entry, activities and attractions, with the exception of rides. Supervisors and under three years are free.

If you forget your test evidence, teams are available to run instant cross flow tests to verify that you are clear. Anyone who tests positive will be turned away and given a refund.
Organizer Simon Goldman said, “We know how important it is for families to have a budget and have as much fun as possible for your ticket price. To make budgeting even easier, everything aside from the amusement attractions and inflatables is included in your entrance fee contain.
“We have tried to evaluate the day pass so that it is affordable for all families. We assume that the demand will be very high. Please book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

“After the year we’ve all had, we certainly think the kids deserve a reward and real family fun.”

Heaton Park is served by two tram stops – Heaton Park and Bowker Vale – and the organizers hope that as many people as possible will be able to travel on Metrolink.
