2026 Battle of the Bars Fundraiser

February 20 @ 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Join us for the 6th Annual Battle of the Bars in support of the St. Patrick’s Committee of Holyoke!

This exciting event will feature one bartender from each participating bar, battling it out to see who can raise the most tips for donations. In addition to one overall trophy winner, each round will also award cash prizes!

All funds raised each year go toward offsetting the costs of the bands and entertainment we proudly bring to the streets of Holyoke each season.
