St. Patrick's Day

With St. Patrick's Day approaching, there are some things you should know about the fun events happening in Downtown Rockford this year!

The beloved tradition of dyeing the Chicago River green for St. Patrick's Day is happening in just a few weeks!

My grandfather, who was part of the first generation of his Ireland-born family to be born in the United States, once told me that Irish pubs are like beers and whiskeys: "There's lots of them, but not very many of them are worth your time."

While two Illinois cities are ranked in the top ten best places for St. Patrick's Day fun, 3 other Illinois municipalities also make the list for being a great place to be Irish for a day.

Before you tip a bunch of gold, (or green), beer back this weekend, designate a sober driver...or else.

As we gear up towards the first "real" St. Patrick's celebration in 2 years many places are pulling out all the stops.

Every year Chicago hosts their annual "dye the river green" event in the heart of downtown Chicago. Find out when it's happening this year!

One of the best St. Patrick's Day celebrations finally returns to Illinois in 2022.

Sure, this whole COVID-19 mess has put somewhat of a damper on one of Rockford's (and America's) great party and celebration days, but nothing short of lockdown enforced by armed men is going to stop it.

Two 'driving parade' routes are scheduled to happen in Rockford tomorrow in celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
