The Chicago River

The Chicago river is one of the greatest metropolitan rivers in the world. It gives the residents of this busy city a piece of tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Cruising along the river is simply the best way to enjoy CHICAGO. So many events are held here throughout the year, and the most famous one takes place during the week of St. Patrick's Day when the river is dyed green which is tradition that has taken place since 1962.
