5 things to know about the Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival

ORLANDO, Fla. — You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more authentic St. Patrick’s Day celebration than at Raglan Road Irish Restaurant & Pub.

1. The Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival returns to the Disney Springs destination. Bands from Ireland have flown in for non-stop festivities, as have the Irish dancers.

2. The entertainment is spilling outside of Raglan Road with five bars, Celtic face painting, gift competitions, and a bunch of giveaways.

3. All of this leads up the mother of all Irish holidays, as we’re in the midst of five full days of Irish fun. Raglan Road is also offering a monthlong menu of Irish classics with new twists, like a bacon-and-cabbage dish that has Guinness-glazed ribs.

4. Mixologists have also created new hand-crafted cocktails, like gin-based “Pride of the Peninsula.”

5. The Festival is taking place March 13–17, until midnight each night. Reservations are encouraged every day of the Fest, except for Tuesday. On St. Patrick’s Day itself, there is a $20 cover charge and is on a first come, first served basis.
