Raglan Road Irish Pub at Downtown Disney Plans to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 'the Irish Way' March 16-18

For everyone interested in celebrating St. Patrick's Day "the Irish way," the Irish owners of Raglan Road Irish Restaurant & Pub at Downtown Disney have lined up a non-stop program of Irish music, song and dance across Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 16-18, to match anything found in their native Dublin, Ireland.

Here's what's in store:

  • 'U2 Elevation,' the world's most popular U2 tribute band, will play a storming mix of the band's songs on Friday and Saturday evening.
  • Tuskar Rock, Raglan Road's imported house band (and a huge favorite among locals), will present their unique mix of traditional and contemporary Irish music -- featuring 'Lord of the Dance' star dancer Danielle Fitzpatrick. The band will also launch their eagerly awaited CD recorded live at Raglan Road.
  • Myra Waters, another Irish champion dancer, leads her Celtic Pulse Dance Troupe -- featuring the cream of Orlando's Irish Dancers -- in a blistering set of tap and step dance routines.
  • "The Raglan Rose" competition (open to all guests) will unearth Raglan Road's Festival Queen -- as voted by the guests!

That's all in addition to a heady mix of Celtic Cocktails, Stupid Irish Dance Competitions and Raglan's Irish cuisine and Irish beers -- all the ingredients needed to create one fine Irish hooley (party).

The fun begins March 16 at 5 p.m. and continues on March 17 and March 18 beginning at noon. On Saturday, March 17, there is a $10 cover charge until 3 p.m. and a $15 cover charge after 3 p.m. No advance reservations are being taken for Saturday.
