"The Great Irish Hooley" Returning to Raglan Road at Downtown Disney


The third annual "Great Irish Hooley" is returning to Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant at Downtown Disney over Labor Day Weekend, promising days of Irish tomfoolery! The “hooley” is a traditional Irish social festival and Raglan Road will celebrate theirs with live music, traditional dancing, and delicious Irish fare. Live music begins at 4 p.m. Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30 through Monday, September 1, continuing each day and night. 

This year’s Hooley band lineup includes the following entertainment groups for your enjoyment:

  • Scythian- A headliner on the Celtic festival circuit and equally at home in rock venues – the band will release a fan-funded album, “Jump at the Sun,” this month.
  • The Raglan Rebels - Ireland’s best up-and-coming young band with traditional and modern songs and ballads.
  • Drops of Green - An exciting new ballad group from the heart of Ireland.
  • The Brayzen Heads - A popular duo on guitar and banjo playing Raglan Road regularly.
  • The West Coast Trio - From Connemara, playing traditional and contemporary Irish songs on accordion, flute and guitar with plenty of reels and jigs.

Looking to stretch your legs and put your dancing shoes to good use? Free workshops, “From Our Roots to Riverdance,” will be available Saturday-Monday, led by renowned Irish dancer and choreographer Ronan McCormack of the original Riverdance cast. The Raglan Road dancers will also be on hand to give traditional “ceili” (kay-lee) dancing entertainment and tips.

Join the fun August 29-September 1 and visit www.thegreatirishhooley.com for additional information.

Greetings, fellow Disney enthusiasts! I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence from the website. Due to recent personal and professional changes, I have had to prioritize certain aspects of my life over my beloved hobby. However, I am determined to turn this passion into something even more significant in the near future. As a result, the website will be undergoing a much-needed redesign within the next month or so. During this time, no new updates will be available on the site. However, please feel free to stay up-to-date with any breaking news or updates by following my Twitter or Instagram feeds. I cannot express how much I appreciate your continued support and patience over the years. Together, we have come so far, and I assure you that the new design will provide the latest information and easier navigation. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and love. I promise that we will be back soon! Until then, "See ya real soon!" Micha...
