The feeling of spring was in the air this past Sunday at the second annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Margate. Hundreds of people made their way to Ventnor Ave. in front of Margate Community Church for a full afternoon of activities. Good vibes were felt all around as The Dead Reckoning provided the soundtrack to a perfect day. There was a plethora of kids’ activities, from potato sack races to egg and spoon races, cornhole, craft tables, and tai chi demonstrations.
Several food trucks were on-site to satisfy every taste bud, along with a selection of specialty beverages for purchase. Attendees strolled the Avenue visiting the many craft vendors, and Sustainable Downbeach assembled a collection of local organizations providing information and demonstrations to our community.
The Margate Cherry Blossom Festival is just one of the many fantastic events held throughout the year. The city will also host a Cornhole League, Beachstock, and the return of weekly Farmers Markets and Thrilling Thursdays in the months ahead.
