Every year the Chicago River is dyed green to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day in Chicago.
The Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day is one of the best parades in Chicagoland. The parade attracts large crowds in the western suburb of Elmhurst in Illinois. The parade features floats, marching units and animated characters along with local organizations, businesses and clubs along a mile stretch. Do not miss your chance to see over 80 floats, Irish Dancers, the Shannon Rovers, local team mascots, Benny the Bull, Southpaw & Tommy Hawk. The parade features the world’s largest drum and the York High School Marching Band, the Chicago Highlanders, Medinah Clowns, and the hilarious Elmhurst Armpit Orchestra.
The parade is only the beginning to this festive day. The music, food and festivities continue as Elmhurst merchants, restaurants and friends welcome visitors for this special celebration.
The Parade Route begins its march off from Wilson Street and Spring Road and heads North. The parade ends at the railroad tracks one block South of St. Charles Road.
