EVERYONE loves a flea market and when a street party is thrown in for good measure, it makes for a memorable evening and last Wednesday was no different.

Started by the Margate Business Association nearly two decades ago, the Mardi Gras street parties are held during the holiday seasons.On party nights, Margate’s main street, Marine Drive, is closed to traffic from 6pm to 10pm and it becomes the venue for this great street happening.

Stalls sell a wide variety of crafts, flea market fashions and there’s always an array of tasty food.
