Every year, the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union take on the Chicago River for their annual green-tinting event, as they pour loads of green dye into the waters to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day every year. Every year, the Windy City celebrates their annual green dyeing of the Chicago River as thousands of people dressed in their celebratory green gather for holiday festivities, including a parade and Irish-themed food and drinks offered by a slew of different vendors along the Riverwalk, with the bagpipes ringing throughout the town. A boat drops the dye into the water every year, and don’t worry: it’s completely environmentally safe. This tradition in Chicago has been going on ever since 1961 and is a yearly event that people from all over the nation travel to see firsthand. So hey, if you’re looking for a festive way to celebrate the holiday and escape from the drunken college student infested streets of Newark, book your plane ticket to the Windy City today!!
