Miss Macra 50th Reunion - search is on for all past winners
The International Miss Macra festival is returning to Thurles to celebrate its 50th anniversary this August Bank Holiday weekend (July 29th – 31st).
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations, Tipperary Co-Operative are sponsoring a reunion lunch in the Anner Hotel, Thurles for the previous winners of the festival.
This reunion should be a great afternoon to reminisce on their experiences of the festival and reconnect with old Macra friends.

Any past winners, or those who are in a position to contact them, are invited to contact the committee by emailing [email protected] or Festival Secretary Edel on 087-7546972.
