Great Irish Labor Day festival at Disney World

Disney’s Pleasure Island in Disney World is planning a hooley for Labor Day.

Hooley is a Irish slang for part of celebration and Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant (one of my favorite places to eat) is planning on the Great Irish Hooley Labor Day Weekend, Aug. 31 to Sept. 3.

The band Full Set will appear at the First Great Irish Hooley.

The weekend, according to a Disney news release, will feature six Irish bands, Irish Dance Workshops, Celtic face painting and the food and drink. Musicians will perform inside the pub and outside on the patio.

Performers include: Full Set, which will play Friday through Monday;Elevation, the popular U2 Tribute band, plays on Saturday and Sunday; The Raglan Rogues, Danny Burns, Johnny “Snaggs” Norton and house band Creel. The six-member Raglan Road Irish Dancers will perform throughout the weekend. Renowned Irish dancer and choreographer Ronan McCormack of the original Riverdance cast will lead Irish Dance Workshops from Saturday through Monday.
