Chicago river dyed green for st. Patrick’s day | ABS - CBN News

Chicago celebrated its world-renowned St. Patrick’s Day event on Saturday (March 16), with the ‘Windy City’s’ river gleaming in a vibrant shade of emerald. The festive occasion drew thousands of spectators from across the globe who watched in delight as the Chicago River transformed into a luminous green canvas. In a tradition that dates back to 1962 and is now in its 69th year, the Chicago Plumbers Union infused the river with 50 pounds of green dye, covering a quarter-mile stretch with a vivid, algae-like color. The union reassured that the environmentally friendly dye would not harm wildlife and would maintain its brilliant hue for approximately five hours.
