FAQs

We encourage people to ride share or bike/scooter/skateboard/walk into town for the event, however if you do need to drive in, parking will be available in the peripheral streets and near Gloucester Park Oval behind the Augusta Margaret River Shire buildings. Check the accompanying map to view possible parking locations.

Many of the main street traders will be participating in Extended Trading until 7pm on the night of the event. This is our opportunity to share the love with our favourite local businesses, many of which we may not have visited in a while.

Bussell Highway will be closed off from Tunbridge Street to Wallcliffe Road from 11am to 11pm on Friday 29 January. You will not be able to park on the street from 6am on the event date. This will allow ample time for set up and pack down of the event. Traffic Management teams will be on the street from 6am, blocking off car parks on Bussell Highway to ensure the street is emptied before 11am. Please note that any cars left on the street after 11am will not be able to be driven out and may be towed away, so please take care that morning (and the night before) with your planning.

You’re encouraged to visit one of the many main street traders to purchase your food on the night. A number of businesses will be offering alfresco dining on the street directly in front of their venue, as well as takeaway food options which allow you to stroll the street and enjoy the entertainment. We encourage you to support local. Reuther Park will be set up as a picnic area with lawn games and live music, so we encourage you to bring a blanket and grab a seat on the grass to sit and enjoy your food.

The whole of the Margs Main Street will be alive with live music, live art, roving entertainment, a youth chillout zone, tarp surfing, an art market, street performers and kids activities. There will be five key activation zones:

The event management team have worked with Augusta Margaret River Shire and WA Health to ensure the event meets all necessary COVID safety measures. We ask that you sign in using the Safe WA app – you’ll see the QR code posted on signage along the main street, as well as hard-copy contact registers at various entry points. Look out for COVID Safety Marshals on the day, who will be wearing bright pink and making sure that the necessary requirements are met, so please treat them with respect and take their lead. We ask all attendees to practice good respiratory hygiene, wash/sanitise hands regularly and keep your distance. If you become unwell while at the event, please notify one of the COVID Safety Marshals. We appreciate your help in keeping WA safe.
