Plumbers Local 130 dyed the Chicago River a brilliant emerald green at 10 a.m. Central time on March 11 west of Columbus Drive and east of Orleans Street.

The tradition dates back to 1962 and has been a fixture ever since.

The dye is harmless to wildlife and lasts for roughly five hours of selfie-snapping pleasure.

The best views of the dye will be from Upper Wacker Drive between Columbus and Fairbanks.
