Labor Day weekend at Disney World isn't just packed due to the holiday. The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicks off on August 29th, promising large crowds. But there's another festival that doesn't even require a park ticket – The Great Irish Hooley, returning to Raglan Road in Disney Springs.

The Great Irish Hooley is a roots revival music festival held annually at Raglan Road. This year, it runs from August 29th to September 1st. Expect lively performances from top Irish bands both indoors and outdoors throughout the weekend.

Have a look at some of the bands performing:

- Strings & Things
- Bridín
- Plain Sailin
- Men of Aran
- The Byrne Brothers
- Bean an Tí
- Northern Crossing

Raglan Road’s dancers will also lead guests in an Irish ceili dance through the pub on August 31st and September 1st.

Enjoy a mix of your favorite beers, cocktails, whiskeys, and traditional Irish dishes over the weekend. In addition to the all-day menu, indulge in the Rollicking Raglan Brunch at 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday. On Labor Day, Raglan Road opens at 10 AM, serving its full menu and brunch specials until noon.

So, if you’re not up for the EPCOT crowds, heat, and humidity, head over to Raglan Road to experience the Irish festivities!
