2026 Kick-Off Banquet

Last year, we unfortunately had to cancel our Kick-Off Banquet due to the neighboring fires and loss of electricity. This year, we are so excited to pick up where we left off and host our first-ever Kick-Off Banquet in the new Shamrock Convention Center!
 
Join us on Friday, March 13th, at 6:00 PM as we officially launch the 2026 St. Patrick’s Celebration for a night of entertainment, tradition, and the debut of our Miss Irish Rose!
 
We are thrilled to welcome this year’s Emcee and Entertainment, Ed Montana! From being one of the voices of Hodgetown to performing at the Grand Ole Opry, Ed wears many hats.  We can’t wait to welcome him to Shamrock.
 
As originally planned last year, we will proudly honor the late Kenneth Martindale, our 2009 General Chairman and Wheeler County Constable, for his dedication and service to our community.
 
A delicious meal will be provided by Desperados Catering. Banquet tickets will be $25. Please purchase your tickets in advance by March 8th, so we can ensure adequate seating and food for everyone. They can be purchased at City Hall or you can visit shamrockstpatricks.com. 
 
We cannot wait to gather together, celebrate our community, and kick off this special year with you!
