Margate NOW 2020
Friday 25th September – Sunday 11th October
Margate NOW 2020 is a multi-disciplinary arts festival, guest curated by People Dem Collective. Over the three weekends, we will celebrate the best contemporary culture from Margate’s world-class creative community with a range of diverse and inclusive events. This year, the festival aims to increase online cultural activity and to deliver real-world, socially distanced experiences.
Margate NOW 2020 is only made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, Kent County Council, Thanet District Council and South East Creatives.
