MARDI GRAS IS A LOT OF FUN FOR EVERYBODY

MARDI GRAS IS A LOT OF FUN FOR EVERYBODY
SOUTH COAST HERALD 28 MARCH 2008
The holiday street party has been a favourite for more than a decade.
EVERYONE loves a flea market and, when a street party is thrown in for good measure, it makes for a memorable evening.
Started by the Margate Business Association more than 10 years ago, the Mardi Gras street parties are held every holiday season.
On party nights, the main street of Margate is Closed to traffic from 6 to 10pm and it becomes the venue for this great street happening. Stalls sell a wide variety of crafts, flea market, fashions and tasty food. Local restau¬rants and pubs are packed on street party nights and many of the shops extend their trading hours to cater for the crowds.
Buskers, DJs and clowns provide street entertainment and foot-tapping music gets everyone dancing in the street.
Don't miss the Mardi Gras street party next Wednesday, April 2.
