Manx National Week

Manx National Week is a week-long celebration of Manx culture and heritage held annually around early July across the Isle of Man 1 2. Organized by Tynwald (Isle of Man’s parliament), it features community events island-wide, such as the traditional Cronk-y-Voddy Sports Day and heritage exhibitions 3 4. The event promotes pride in Manx identity and involves parades, sports, and displays of Manx language and history.

This week was *re-ignited* by the President of Tynwald in 2024 to foster national pride and commemorate the island’s unique traditions 1. It builds on historical Manx customs (like local fairs and sports) but was formalized recently as a collective celebration of Manx heritage.
