Homecoming Festival & Carnival (sometimes called Manchester Days) is our annual fall festival which occurs each year on the weekend after Labor Day. It starts Friday night and runs through Sunday afternoon. Homecoming is filled with Live Music, a parade, events, rides, booths, and activities. We have a whole committee dedicated to ensuring Homecoming is a success each year. 

If you are interested in volunteering for Homecoming, we have 3 levels of volunteering: Homecoming Helper, Homecoming Volunteer, and Homecoming Committee Member. Descriptions are listed below. 

For more information or to sign up to help at Homecoming, please email our Office Manager, Becky Jones, at bjones@manchestermo.gov or call 636-391-6326 ext 404.
