Time-Lapse of the Chicago River turning Green

March 17, 2017 | <3 Lauren

For the 55th year, the Chicago Rive sported a lovely shade of green.

It was pretty awesome to watch this happen at sea level from the Illinois Lottery boat Saturday!!

Drinking game: take a chug every time this video loops.

Be safe! ☘️
