LOCAL CRAFTERS SHOWCASE : AN EXCITING INTERVENTION TO OFFER TOURISTS AUTHENTIC LOCALLY CRAFTED PRODUCTS.

On the 20^th May crafters are invited to display their local crafts. This is part of an initiative of the Margate Centenary to offer the informal traders on Margate Beach access to beautiful tourist friendly products.

The Ugu District Municipality and The Hibiscus Coast Municipality are embarking on an initiative to source locally crafted products for distribution and resale by the informal traders, offering a tourist product that will be commercially successful for the informal traders and crafters alike. The purpose is to create sustainable outlets for our local crafters and to offer our informal traders access to products that will be highly sought after by visitors to Margate.

Products should be unique, authentic and appealing to national and international visitors.

Crafters are invited to showcase their products to the informal traders,
