Chicago doesn’t miss any important celebrations💚🍀

💡 The tradition is believed to have been started in 1962 when the local plumbers' union poured a small amount of green dye into the river, which turned the water a bright green colour. Since then, it has become an annual event in the city of Chicago on St. Patrick's Day.

❓Do you love this tradition?
