Pull on your greenest garb and step right up — the St. Patrick’s Day Event 2026 is rolling back into Forge of Empires, and the town is already buzzing with activity!

Paddy McCharms is back at your side, full of Irish wit and wisdom, ready to usher you through lively festival streets, clattering factories, and rivers brimming with Shamrocks. Chase the rainbow, fill your Pots of Gold, and turn a bit of luck into serious progress for your city.

Event Overview


This year’s St. Patrick’s Day Event puts you in charge of a bustling event town. You’ll fire up factories, keep shipments moving across the river, and complete tasks to push ever closer to the Grand Prize. Every decision matters — how fast you produce, when you advance, and which rewards you claim along the way.

New in 2026, Event Tokens and a dedicated Item Store give you more freedom than ever to choose how your rewards come together.

How the Event Works


Open the event window and dive straight into the action. On one side of the river, your factories get to work producing Shamrocks. On the other, your festival waits for deliveries. Keep production running, load up your ship, and send those Shamrocks across to fuel your progress. Check out the MECHANICS page ​for a detailed breakdown!

You’ll earn Pots of Gold by completing Paddy’s questline and daily bonus quests — including 100 free Pots of Gold every day. Use them wisely to speed things up and shape your strategy.

Managers are your secret weapon! Hire them to automate production, shipping, and festival tasks, then upgrade them to squeeze even more value out of every minute. As you complete tasks at the top of the screen, you’ll steadily unlock new stages. Clear a town completely or push on the moment you have enough Shamrocks — the choice is always yours!

Each town ends with a moment of truth: a reward stage where chests await. One opens for free, while others can be unlocked for increasing costs, with a discounted option if you’re ready to open them all in one go and claim the lot!

What’s New in 2026


This year, rewards are clearer, faster, and more flexible. Some tasks now grant Fortune Coins, a new currency you can spend in the Lucky Chamber Item Store to pick up exactly what you want. Fortune Coins appear directly on tasks, in reward windows, and at the end of towns, so you’ll always know what you’re earning and where it can take you.

The tutorial has been refreshed to get you into the action faster! On top of that, updated visuals, smoother animations, and refined layouts keep the focus where it belongs — on playing, progressing, and collecting rewards!
