El Zagal Mystic Shriners Host 45th Annual Jamestown Fish Fry March 20

The El Zagal Mystic Shriners in Jamestown will host their 45th Annual Fish Fry at Shady’s Restaurant & Lounge inside the Gladstone Inn & Suites on Friday, March 20, 2026, offering the community a chance to enjoy a meal while supporting the Shriners’ charitable activities. The event runs from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are available in advance at two Jamestown retailers and through local members: Lifestyle Appliance and West End Hide & Fur in Jamestown, or from any local Mystic Shriner member. The organizers did not publish ticket prices or state whether sales will be available at the door.

The fish fry is framed as both a fundraiser and a community tradition. “Community members are invited to come out for an evening of food, fellowship, and fundraising,” the announcement states, and adds that “the annual fish fry has become a longtime tradition in Jamestown, bringing together residents and supporters to help the Shriners continue their charitable work.”

Proceeds from the event will support the Shriners’ efforts; the announcement links that work to broader pediatric care by noting the Shriners are “well known for helping children receive specialized medical care through the Shriners Children’s healthcare system.” That connection places the Jamestown fundraiser within a larger network of charitable health services that primarily serve children with specialized medical needs.

Organizers supplied core logistical details but did not provide menu specifics, a ticket price, a contact person, or whether proceeds will be earmarked for local chapter needs versus contributions to the Shriners Children’s network. Those items remain unconfirmed for this year’s 45th edition, and local supporters seeking more information may purchase advance tickets at the named Jamestown businesses or inquire with area Mystic Shriner members.

The El Zagal Mystic Shriners’ 45th Annual Fish Fry continues a long-running local tradition, combining an evening meal with community fundraising for children’s specialty care. “Residents are encouraged to stop by, enjoy a great fish dinner, and support the continued charitable mission of the Shriners,” the announcement concludes.
