Raglan Road’s Great Irish Hooley kicks off Sept. 2
Labor Day weekend at Disney Springs means it’s time for a Hooley – specifically a Great Irish Hooley at Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant.
“Hooley” is a day of festivities centered around dancing, singing, and merriment in the traditional Irish tradition. And the restaurant (one of our favorites) holds a four-day
This Labor Day weekend at Disney Springs, Raglan Road will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its boutique music festival. From Sept. 2 to Sept. 5, you can sing-along to the traditional Irish turns, Celt grass, folk, and blue performed by the many bands. And you can learn to dance as the Raglan Road Irish Dancers will teach guests a dance step or two to try out at your table.
The bands taking the stage include:
- Téada – This leading Irish traditional band will headline the Hooley lineup. Dubbed “invigorating” by the Washington Post, the band just released their sixth album.
- One for the Foxes – An exciting new transatlantic group merging backgrounds in Irish and American folk music for an eclectic vibe.
- Celtic Croí (Heart) – Talented trio from Dublin, Belfast, and Glasgow pump up the Hooley volume.
- Gobhán – Dynamic duo from County Down, Ireland, playing guitar, fiddle and vocals.
The pub will also feature new whiskeys and a special Hooley brew, the De Fesht, that brings an Oktoberfest-like spirit to the late-summer festivities. In addition to the all-day menu, the Rollicking Raglan Brunch will be served throughout the weekend, including Labor Day Monday, Sept. 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Complimentary Celtic face painting rounds out the event offerings.
There is no cover charge, and reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made through the My Disney Experience app or by calling 407-938-0300.
