Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant in Downtown Disney is set to celebrate their Irish roots during the Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival March 13-17, 2015.

The St. Patrick’s Day celebration will feature award-winning Irish and American bands, quick-stepping Irish dancers and cuisine by Irish celebrity chef Kevin Dundon, host of the PBS and Create TV cooking show, “Kevin Dundon’s Modern Irish Food.”

The band lineup headed by Scythian offers many varieties:
