There are large tented pavilions with bands and DJs, VIP-only toilets, a seating area and numerous beer pouring stations and food vendors (food and non-alcoholic beverages are not included in the VIP ticket price.)  Please drink and act responsibly!

• ShamrockFest is as an all ages event. However, you must be 21 to purchase or consume alcohol. You must also be 21 to enter the VIP areas.

• No food or beverages will be permitted to be brought into or out of the event.

• In the Main Event areas: you may purchase beer tickets which can then be redeemed for beer at the beer stations. Food can be purchased with cash only, from the various food vendors. (Note: There are no refunds on the beer tickets under any circumstances.)
• In the VIP areas: Beer is provided for free inside the VIP areas only. Food may be purchased in the VIP area with cash only, from the various food vendors. (Note VIPs can only obtain free beer within the VIP area space and not at the Main Event beer stations.)

• The beer stations are scheduled to open at 12:30pm in the Main Event areas and 1:00pm in the VIP Area. All beer service is scheduled to end at 7:00pm everywhere, however the event reserves the right to discontinue service, at any time, to any person or persons. (The beer service ending time may be extended, or cut shorter, based on the discretion of the authorities.) There are no refunds on the beer tickets under any circumstances.

• OK, you know the deal. We have to say this… Because Shamrockfest has about 50 bands & DJs and over a dozen party areas and other entertainment elements, it is impossible to ensure that every aspect will come through as scheduled/planned. All of the elements, including the artists who are advertised to perform at ShamrockFest, are in fact contracted, scheduled and expected to perform at the event. However, it is possible that some may not appear due to circumstances beyond our control. For example, any of the 40+ performers could have an injury, or other misfortune, which could cause them to cancel… Or, they get called away to make a last-minute TV or movie appearance; because many of these artists are internationally famous and have major studio contracts with “open-ended” obligations it is possible that they may be obliged to change their schedule and make an appearance somewhere else, in lieu of their appearance at ShamrockFest. Regardless of this, it is understood that ShamrockFest is about the overall experience and the totality of the entertainment and not about any one band or any one element. As such tickets to ShamrockFest are non-refundable under any circumstances. Bottom line, it will be a great time… come and enjoy!
