Read below for all the details, reservations are recommended!
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Bring on the craic! Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant will host the 10th annual Great Irish Hooley boutique music festival Labor Day weekend beginning Sept. 2 and continuing through Sept. 5. Pub guests will want to dance and sing along to non-stop traditional Irish tunes, Celt grass, folk, and blues performed by top Irish bands slated to perform. Taking the stage will be a first-rate lineup of luminaries from the traditional Irish music world:
Téada – This leading Irish traditional band will headline the Hooley lineup. Dubbed “invigorating” by the Washington Post, the band just released their sixth album. Don’t miss them!
One for the Foxes – Exciting new transatlantic trio 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.
When you hear the word “Hooley,” you know to expect a good time. It’s a Gaelic term for a lively party with music, entertainment and fun for everyone in the family. 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 — our 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.
It all begins Friday afternoon, Sept. 2, and continues through late-night Monday, Labor Day. Celtic face painting is complimentary, and the pub will 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 pub’s All-Day Menu, the delicious Rollicking Raglan Brunch will be served throughout the weekend, including Labor Day Monday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
