"I think that's something that brings a lot of people together," said Sarah Ryno of Appleton.
Ryno said the Shamrock Shuffle is a tradition she and her friends have taken part in since they graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"We've been here for a few hours. I feel like the best part, we've just met this awesome group of people," she said. "We have friends that live in Illinois now and came all the way out here just to spend the weekend with us."
The celebration also raises money for local charities. Since it started, organizers said it has raised more than $123,000.
