Event: Outing: Greening of Chicago River

Posted by:  ebow 

Event Date:
Mar 13, 2010
(One Time Event)


With the "official" south side parade indefinitely canceled, the dyeing of the Chicago River is one of the few (and equally bizarre) classic St. Patty's Day traditions left. Come see while thousands of people cheer while a brown river is turned electric green. To quote a movie (another Chicago classic) "why can't they dye it blue for the other 364 days?"


Until that day we have this one. . .

When: Saturday, Feb 13th @ 10:00 am (river dyeing at 10:45 am)



Where: Panera Bakery on Wacker (just west of Michigan Ave.)
