The Beach Market Extravaganza held at Camp Bay on Tuesday was a resounding success. Large crowds of people attended the novel event and enjoyed the many activities that were provided by the organisers, the Gibraltar Tourist Board and Ministry of Culture.

The outdoor fun included, karaoke, aqua zumba, zumba, live music, dance groups and a fire show. There was also entertainment for family and children with face painting, bouncy castle, candy floss, hair braiding and even a stall of Christmas crafts.

Numerous stalls selling arts and crafts items, jewellery, beach-ware, painted stones, and photographs, proved very popular with the public. There were also various food stalls.

The next beach market will be held on July 20th at Eastern Beach with a third scheduled for August 17th at Catalan Bay.

“The evening was a huge success and we would like to remind the public that we have two more beach markets coming up later in the summer to look forward to.”
