Get ready for the big drop, Westfield!

The city’s popular St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Shamrock Drop, returns to Grand Junction Plaza, 225 S. Union St, from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 14.

This free, family-friendly event will have live Irish music, a scavenger hunt, live crafts, airbrush tattoos, and food and beer vendors. Themed carnival games are also available for an additional cost; attendees may purchase a Lucky Loot Card for $10, which enables them to play any of the six carnival games. Every player is guaranteed to win a prize.

Attendees are encouraged to stop by the Westfield Welcome tent to pick up their complimentary scavenger hunt card. Once the scavenger hunt is complete, participants can redeem their Lucky Shamrock Duck at the final clue location.

At 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., a leprechaun will climb aboard a Westfield Fire Department fire truck and drop all the Lucky Shamrock Ducks from above. One duck will be chosen at random, and the owner of the winning duck will receive a grand prize generously donated by local Westfield businesses.
