Every year, since 1962, the Chicago river turns green in the honor of St. Patrick’s Day.

Thousands of locals and tourists, some drunk and dressed in their best green attire, visited the River yesterday, to rejoice in the tradition, which was started by the members of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local Union who dumped 100 pounds of green dye into the river. Since then, the city has marked the tradition of dyeing the river green every Saturday, before St. Patrick’s Day, coinciding with its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Here are some pictures of this year’s celebration.
