The Dyeing of the River Green will take place on March 16th from 11 a.m. to noon along Museum Reach, and from 1 to 3 p.m. downtown. On St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, the downtown stretch will be dyed again from 1 to 3 p.m. St. Patrick's Day celebrations that weekend include a festival and two parades. The eco-friendly dye is dispensed behind a barge with a bagpiper on board. The river has been dyed green every year since 1968.
