Full steam ahead for 50th annual Moynalty Steam Threshing. A special Cead Mile Failte awaits you in Moynalty for this year’s annual festival that takes place this weekend.
The 50th annual Moynalty Steam Threshing Festival will take place on the 9th & 10th of August. Displays of vanishing work practices and food production can be seen along-side craft making and vintage displays.
Moreover, a great day out awaits young and old; as the Threshing has something for everyone! With displays and demonstrations to remind us of how things were for our fore-fathers. Traditional crafts such as basket weaving; steel forging; hot shoeing; tin craft; wood turning; and harness making are all to be seen.
Indeed, a vintage road making display will entail a re-enactment of how roads were made over 100 years ago. Derek Ryan and his band will take to the stage in a grand finale of music on Sunday.
Ronan Gaynor, PRO of the event says the success over the past 5 decades has been down to the great support from so many people through the years. Ronan Gargan has been speaking to Ronan Gaynor about this years event:
