It is St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago, and the festivities are just getting underway.
The city's parade and river dyeing may have taken place last weekend, but there are more shenanigans taking place this weekend.
The celebrations kicked off last Saturday when about 40 pounds of dye was dumped in the river, but many say there's no other time like March 17th to enjoy the fun. "The energy in Chicago is just so unique for St. Patrick’s Day, I feel like it’s just something you have to experience. Everyone is just so happy to be here," said Olivia Prezzano.
