‘Great Irish Hooley’ Set To Begin Tomorrow
First things first – you are probably wondering what the heck a “hooley” is. Well, a hooley (or hoolie) is an Irish word for ‘a lively party.’
Now then, everyone loves a party, right?
Central Florida’s first Great Irish Hooley will kick off tomorrow, Aug. 31 at Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant in Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island. A four day celebration, the party continues through Labor Day weekend until Sep. 3.
Planned experiences include:
- Six top Irish bands playing traditional and rock tunes
- Irish Dance Workshops to help the whole family polish their dance moves
- Structured set dancing called the Ceili (kay-lee)
- Celtic face painting
And of course, guests can belly up to one of Raglan Road’s™ 130-year-old imported-from-Ireland bars or grab a table for authentic fare by Irish celebrity chef Kevin Dundon.
If you are visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, be sure to catch the Great Irish Hooley – it’s sure to be a craic (wild time)!
