Unlike other cities in the world where they just have lots of beer, wear green and eat green-colored food—every year since 1962, Chicago turns its river green to commemorate St Patrick’s Day.



This year is no different from the previous years: the blue waters of Chicago River get turned green again with special orange dye.



And to further add to the celebration of the festival in the waterway, a man dressed as a Leprechaun rode a Flyboard on the waters.



Check out the video below to see how Chicago marked St Paddy’s Day:
