The Shamrock Shake tradition centers on festive St. Patrick’s Day celebrations hosted by the Collegiate Recovery Program. Each March (e.g., events on March 7, 2024, and March 12, 2026), students gather for free Shamrock Shakes—minty green treats—alongside crafts, games, and sober fun at locations like Serenity Place. This annual event promotes community, recovery support, and holiday spirit in a welcoming, alcohol-free environment for all WVU students.
