The stage is set, the taps are ready to flow, and the 29th Annual ShamROCK Music + Beer Festival is gearing up to be the ultimate convergence of live music, green and craft beer, Irish and other grubs, games and shenanigans, and a guaranteed good time on Saturday, March 15, from 2 PM to 10 PM in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. ShamROCK seamlessly combines the artistry of a good brew with the energetic pulse of live Celtic music, making it a must-attend event for beer and whiskey connoisseurs, music enthusiasts, Irish brethren, and anyone seeking an epic Gaelic San Diego day.
