Manchester International Festival

29 June – 16 July 2023
Across Manchester

Manchester International Festival returns 29 June to 16 July. The Festival will see artforms merge, breaking new creative ground, as well as reflecting on the personal experiences of the city’s diverse communities.

MIF takes place at venues and spaces across the city region, and at Factory International’s much-anticipated new home, which opens its doors for the first time for the festival, with a major exhibition of Yayoi Kusama’s inflatable artworks in the warehouse, in advance of its official opening in October.

Factory International is the organisation behind both Manchester International Festival, and the landmark new space which will open in 2023, creating a global destination for arts music and culture in the heart of Manchester.
