TL;DR Summary

The Chicago River was dyed green a week before St. Patrick's Day in a decades-long tradition carried out by the Chicago plumbers union. The river only remains green for several hours, but a time-lapse video of the transformation is available. Those still looking to celebrate can attend the family-friendly "Shake Your Shamrock" event in Norwood.
