This year's greening of the Chicago River for the St. Patrick's Day celebration occurred March 11.

Posted to aquatica (March 9) in time for St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the next two weeks. If you're near Chicago, come and see the greening of the river!

Thanks for sharing this shot! As a kid, my high school band marched in the St. Patty's day parade in Chicago. I remember looking at the ground as we were walking over a bridge and looking at the green water. This pix takes me back - thanks for sharing!

Love this shot!

Mind if I post it to my dragon boat team's blog on Saturday, as a tribute to my hometown? I live in Pittsburgh now. They don't dye the rivers here...

Will be sure to attribute it to you.

It's no joke nutterguy they do it every year on St. Patty's day and it stays that way almost all year.
and to the guy who said it can't be good for the fish. It's harmless.
it's just food coloring
the fishing is pretty good there.
