Raglan Road at DTD celebrates "Half Way to Paddy Day"

[Wendy]

September is a relatively quiet month, kids are back in school, the perfect excuse for a party – and Saturday, Sept. 17, just happens to be the halfway point to St. Patrick’s Day. So the folks at Raglan Road at Downtown Disney are throwing a party with live music, Irish dancing, zany competitions and plenty of giveaways.

No cover charge and we’re betting it’s all the fun and way less hectic than the real deal in March. (And kids are welcome!)

The four-piece traditional ballad group, Na Fianna, a four-piece Irish trad and ballad group hailing from the heart of Ireland, will start the fun at 5 p.m. with songs from “Galway Girl” to the “Rocky Road to Dublin.” And the Raglan Road Dancers will show off traditional jigs and energetic new “reels” (Irish dance steps). Get ready to dance.

The popular Elevations band, considered the most successful U2 tribute band in the world, returns for the party with their expansive repertoire, ranging from U2′s first album “Boy” to 2009′s “No Line On The Horizon.”

Whilst you're there what better time to try the Dalkey Duo (fried cocktail sausages with mustard) … crispy fish and chips … Kevin’s heavenly ham (glazed loin of bacon) … and a cold brew or two.

Mark your calendars, get your green on and join the fun!
