Heads UP! Lucky you....you can participate in a bit better weather, next week!🍀🇮🇪☘️

‼️ EVENT UPDATE: Shamrock Sip & Strut moved to March 20 ‼️

Friday the 13 is doing the most this year and is forecasting snow, rain, and high winds. With such a mixed bag of weather ahead, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule the event to Friday, March 20 from 6–9 p.m.

It’s a tough call, especially with today’s beautiful weather, but our priority is to ensure a fun and enjoyable experience for all—and that’s pretty hard to do when you’re cold and soaked.

All tickets will automatically transfer to the new date of Friday, March 20 from 6-9 p.m.

If you'd prefer a refund, please email downtown@midland-mi.org with the name and email affiliated with the order and we'll begin that process for you.

As a reminder, there will be no Shamrock Sip & Strut downtown tomorrow. We''ll see you next Friday, March 20 from 6-9 p.m.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We look forward to celebrating with you in hopefully much better elements next Friday!

Tickets for this event are still available now through March 20: https://2026shamrocksipnstrut.eventbrite.com
