The Festival Experience
The full entertainment schedule is available on the festival webpage, allowing guests to plan their visits around specific performers or shows they want to experience during the five-day celebration. The most authentic Irish festival in America takes it to the Disney Springs street outside Raglan Road with extraordinary Irish talent arriving from Ireland specifically for this event, five outside bars serving Irish beers, whiskeys, cocktails, and other beverages creating outdoor drinking and socializing spaces, fun St. Paddy’s merchandise available for purchase including apparel and accessories celebrating Irish culture and St. Patrick’s Day traditions, and festival atmosphere that transforms the Disney Springs area surrounding Raglan Road into temporary Irish celebration zone.
Reservations are encouraged for guests who plan to celebrate at Raglan Road, where they can lift a pint, sip a cocktail, and dine on authentic contemporary Irish cuisine beginning on March 13, with the restaurant offering its regular menu of Irish-inspired dishes alongside special St. Patrick’s Day offerings that celebrate traditional Irish foods and flavors. Making reservations ensures guests have guaranteed seating and dining times, rather than waiting for tables during what will be an extremely busy period, as the festival attracts both Disney Springs regulars and people traveling specifically to experience the Mighty Festival.
St. Patrick’s Day Specifics
On St. Patrick’s Day only on March 17, Raglan Road will open at 10:00 AM with a $20 cover charge for guests 18 and older operating on first-come, first-served basis with no reservations available on this day only, representing departure from the reservation-encouraged model used for the other festival days. Younger patrons under 18 may enter free of charge, making the event accessible for families with children who want to experience Irish culture, music, and festivities as part of their Disney Springs visit.
The $20 cover charge for adults on St. Patrick’s Day itself reflects the premium nature of the main celebration day when crowds will be largest, performances will be most frequent, and festival atmosphere will be most intense, with the cover charge helping manage crowd levels while generating revenue that supports the costs of bringing Irish musicians from Ireland and operating the extensive outdoor festival setup. The first-come, first-served policy means guests should arrive early to secure entry during peak hours, when capacity limits may be reached.
