ABOUT THE SHAMROCK CLUBThe Shamrock Club of Columbus is a Not-for-Profit Social Organization founded to organize and sponsor the annual St Patrick's Day Parade in Columbus, Ohio. The annual parade and the club has grown since it was first started in 1936. The Shamrock Club provides members a wide range of events and activities. Many of these activities are family friendly with the playground and shelter house on the club's spacious grounds. The Shamrock Club sponsors live Irish music in the pub, dart leagues, progressive euchre nights, and much more. Members enjoy community events, special events, annual events, and many friendships. The most important of these club sponsored events is the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration on March 17th (whether it is a week day or if it falls on a weekend). The Feast of St. Patrick is celebrated each year by the Shamrock Club with a procession to Mass, Mass, Parade, and the annual Irish Family Reunion. This website is designed to introduce the Shamrock Club to the community. Take a look through the site, enjoy your virtual visit, and come on down to the club sometime at 60 West Castle Road in Columbus. You'll be glad you did.
