Although dreaded load shedding shortened the duration of the Mardi Gras in Margate last Wednesday, the popular event still attracted a number of stall holders, holidaymakers and locals.

On sale were a wide variety of crafts, flea market fashions and tasty food. Local restaurant and pub owners also welcomed visitors on the night and many stores extend their trading hours to cater for the crowds.

During Mardi Gras, the main street of Margate is closed off to traffic from 6pm to 10pm and it becomes a great venue for foot-tapping music that gets everyone dancing in the street.
