Salford is turning 100

In 2026, Salford marks 100 years since it was officially granted city status and the city is getting ready for a year of celebration.

Salford 100 is a city-wide programme of cultural, civic and community events that will explore Salford’s past, celebrate its present, and look to the future. From street parties and exhibitions to storytelling and green space projects, there’ll be something for everyone.

We want to hear from you 

Help shape the Centenary by sharing your ideas and telling us what you think should be part of the celebrations.
