Shamrock Gala at Rockwood, the Choral Society’s annual fundraiser will be held 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 15 at the Santa Barbara Woman’s Club, 670 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara.

Taking on a St. Patrick’s Day theme, the club will be transformed into a welcoming Irish pub brimming with Celtic charm and merriment, the Choral Society said.

Authentic, hearty Irish pub fare and craft beer will be served while guests enjoy traditional Irish tunes played by the Decent Folk band.

Funds raised support the Choral Society’s educational and community outreach programs.

A live auction, with a chance to bid on conducting the Choral Society and Orchestra during its 2025 Holiday Concert, will be held along with Pot o’Gold raffles and a paddle raise.

Entertainment will include a pub sing-along with the Kule Klub ukulele players; a demonstration of Irish dance led by world champion Irish dancer Alanna Callaghan and her FireDance performance team; and the sounds of local musician Will Breman and band.

Tickets are $160 per person. Sponsor tables are $1,600, which includes reserved seating for up to 10 guests.

Tickets are available online at sbchoral.org/shamrockwood. Deadline for reservations is March 10.
