The hooley, Irish slang for party, consists of Irish bands playing traditional, folk and rock tunes on the restaurant stage, Irish dance workshops and Celtic face painting.

“Last year’s hooley was such a success that we started planning early this year to invite the best of Irish bands and entertainers,” John Cooke, a Raglan Road founding partner and native of Ireland, said in a Disney press release.

The entertainment will include:

Scythian playing kicked-up Celtic and world music infused with a touch of punk-rock sensibility.

Lisa Canny, musician-singer-songwriter from Ireland’s west coast will entertain with traditional and folk music featuring her contemporary flair.

Elevation, the leading U2 tribute band on the planet, will rock the crowd with the best of U2.
