Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced earlier Wednesday the city’s St. Patrick’s Day parades and events will be postponed. Lightfoot said the city’s downtown parade, which was to be held on Saturday, is postponed, along with other parades that were to be held throughout the city.
The city’s famous “river dyeing” event, a tradition where the Chicago River is dyed green, was also postponed.
I get why the parades would be cancelled but unsure why the dying of the river would be. Individuals can/would surely partake of enjoyment of it!
