Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Kent Chamber of Commerce during a Shamrock Shindig on Friday, March 15. This traditional Irish holiday honoring the 5th-century bishop has become a cultural celebration across the globe, and Kent is no exception!

Following on the heels of the recent and wildly popular Scottish Burns Supper in January, “We wanted to create another community event,” explains Gary Kidd, a member of the board of the Chamber of Commerce and of the Kent CommUNITY Group. “There’s definitely a desire for folks to be able to come together for social gatherings and have fun,” he continues.

The evening of festivities will include:

• Irish Ceilidh Dancing with 45 on Main Coffee and Creamery
• Live Music with bagpiper Jesse Ofgang and friends and Dueling Pianos
• Luck of the Irish Game with Merryall Center
• Irish Whiskey and Liquor Tastings with Town Center Wines + Spirits
• Corned Beef and Cabbage Tastings with Old Oak Tavern

In addition to the Shamrock Shindig, other businesses in Kent will have festive offerings in honor of the Irish holiday. Visit the shops, restaurants, art galleries and other Main Street businesses to get in the spirit and show your support.

This event will take place at the Kent Community House located at 93 N Main Street in Kent, CT on Friday, March 15, 2024 from 7 to 10:30 pm. Tickets are required for entry and can be purchased online HERE or in-person with cash at 45 on Main Coffee and Creamery. All attendees must be 21 years of age or older. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided; no full meals. Attendees are welcome to bring their own beverages. All proceeds benefit the Kent Chamber of Commerce.
