Fact: Spectators best arrive early to the riverside the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day to watch the dyeing of the Chicago River. Green vegetable-based dye is sprayed into the river from motorboats. The annual event starts at 10 AM, a couple of hours before the St. Patrick’s Day Parade kicks off.
