Margate Cherry Blossom Festival 2023
On Sunday, March 26th, the street just outside of the Margate Community Church on Ventnor Ave becomes a cherry blossom heaven. Organizers invite you to wear your tie-dyed best and bring along a chair and/or blanket for your comfort. The day’s events include a pony ride, kid-friendly games and activities, wine for the adults, and food for everyone. Enjoy live music performed by Grateful Dead tribute band The Dead Reckoning. Instructor Gerri Madoff leads a free Tai Chi class for beginners and advanced students alike. Recruit your friends and family to compete in the egg and spoon races, potato sack races, and three-legged races on the grass outside the church.
Don’t worry about being hungry. Organizers have that covered as well. Start off with a great cup of coffee from Harry & Beans. Grab a meal from TacoCat or Wawa Grill. Finish it off with a delicious dessert from California Frozen Yogurt or something yummy off of the Kells Concessions truck. You can’t go wrong with whatever you choose!
Mini-Cornhole Tournament
In addition to everything else, the Cherry Blossom Festival includes a mini-cornhole tournament. Participation is optional and free for anyone attending the festival. All you have to do is sign up on-site between 12 pm and 1 pm. Or pre-register ahead of time online here.
