The 11th Annual Great Irish Hooley Music Fest Coming to Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant

The 11th Annual Great Irish Hooley Music Fest will take place at Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant in Disney Springs from September 1st–4th.

What’s Happening:

  • Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant will host the 11th annual Great Irish Hooley roots revival music festival Labor Day weekend beginning Friday, September 1st and continuing through Monday, September 4th.
  • Top Irish bands slated to perform will rock the house with traditional favorite jigs and ballads, Celt grass, folk mainstays, and soulful blues.  
  • To pair with the Irish vibes and in keeping with the Hooley spirit, Raglan Road will debut its new “Stars & Hearts” Keeper’s Heart Whiskey flight, an Irish-American collaboration aged in stout barrels.

  • The pub’s bartenders also are whipping up new Hooley cocktails including “Heart of the Hooley” made with Keeper’s Heart Irish Bourbon and blackberry and mint shrub.
  • And new dishes are slated to preview, including the culinary team’s first gourmet Guinness & Onion Soup, as well as a new Seaboard Sharing board for two with chef creations featuring a variety of ocean gems.
  • There’s no cover charge to join the Raglan Road fun featuring top Irish bands with high-voltage entertainment.
  • When the spirit moves you, be ready to kick up your Hooley heels – the talented Raglan Road Irish Dancers will lead guests through a lively ceili.
  • The ceili step dances, dating back to the Celts and Druids who inhabited Ireland in the 1500s, are usually a main event of local celebrations in Irish and Celtic communities.
