In 1960, The Shamrock Club of Wisconsin started a revolution in the life of Irish Wisconsin. The organization started small, but eventually became the wellspring of Irish life and culture for much of Milwaukee and the State of Wisconsin. Where there was a void in the cultural side of life, soon the Shamrock Club would fill it with parades, Irish dancing, an Irish festival, scholarships, and so much more.

Our Gallery
The Shamrock Club is a storied organization. We started Irish dance in Milwaukee, were the original sponsors of the largest Irish music and cultural festival in North America, started a cultural center, awarded $45000 in scholarships since 1974, and were pioneers in chartered travel to Ireland in the 1960’s.
We have soared to amazing heights, and, six decades later, will continue to reach new heights.
