Looking to celebrate your Irish pride?
Chicago’s annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held this Saturday, March 13 and you won’t want to miss it! There will be dancers, musicians, big balloons and, of course, the traditional dyeing the river green. The parade starts at noon and the river is dyed at 10:45am so be sure to get there early!
USE YOUR UPASS: The parade travels north up Columbus Dr from Balbo Dr to Monroe Dr. Take the blue or red line to any of the loop stops and walk east towards Columbus for a good spot to watch the parade. To see the dyed river, you can take the 157 bus from Taylor and Halsted in the Chestnut/Lake Shore direction. The bus will take you to right to the river at the Michigan and E. Wacker stop.
