What’s Happening:
- Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant will host the 11th annual Great Irish Hooley roots revival music festival Labor Day weekend beginning Friday, September 1st and continuing through Monday, September 4th.
- Top Irish bands slated to perform will rock the house with traditional favorite jigs and ballads, Celt grass, folk mainstays, and soulful blues.
- To pair with the Irish vibes and in keeping with the Hooley spirit, Raglan Road will debut its new “Stars & Hearts” Keeper’s Heart Whiskey flight, an Irish-American collaboration aged in stout barrels.
- The pub’s bartenders also are whipping up new Hooley cocktails including “Heart of the Hooley” made with Keeper’s Heart Irish Bourbon and blackberry and mint shrub.
- And new dishes are slated to preview, including the culinary team’s first gourmet Guinness & Onion Soup, as well as a new Seaboard Sharing board for two with chef creations featuring a variety of ocean gems.
- 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 – the 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.
