The People’s Parade

Saturday 7 June, 1pm – 3pm

Stoke Creates were delighted to celebrate the Centenary of Stoke-on-Trent becoming a City with the People’s Parade on Saturday 7 June 2025.

If you joined us, we would love to hear your thoughts!

We were joined by a host of spectacular puppets, delightful costumes, music and community members who took to the streets of Hanley to celebrate what makes Stoke-on-Trent so special – our people, our history, our heroes, and most of all, our community spirit.
