Margate Under the Moon 2017

Margate Under the Moon is a special 4 month event series which ended in December 2016. While MUM won’t be back until August 2017, Sounds at Sundown is a separate Margate event series that conveniently begins this January and will run through June 2017.  It’s important to note this is an entirely separate event from Margate Under the Moon, though the two are held in the same location and guests can enjoy some similar offerings: live music, food trucks, free admission, etc.

The annual Sounds at Sundown concert series will once again bring live music, local vendors and delicious food trucks to Margate. The free events take place between the months of January through June 2017 from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the corner of Margate Blvd. and State Road 7. Craft vendors and food trucks will open at 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with live music starting at 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The featured band is Chain Reaction: Journey and Styx tribute

Along with musical entertainment, each event will also feature an eclectic mix of local craft vendors selling handmade jewelry, clothing, and gifts, and food trucks on site serving up delicious snacks, meals and desserts.

Plan to stay for the evening – attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets, relax, dance and enjoy the live entertainment, food trucks, and crafts vendors at their leisure. During select dates, visit the CRA tent for a chance to win gift certificates and retail items from local Margate businesses.
