Every year Chicago starts their St. Patrick’s Day with thousands of people gathered around the banks of the Chicago river to witness it turn green, as an environmental-friendly dye is added to kick off the annual parade. The Windy City makes your visit worth it, with lots of weekend-long events throughout the city including musical performances and a family-friendly festival at the Irish American Heritage Center.

Look out folks, Spring is in the air, and so is St. Patrick’s Day! This year, we’re passing out unofficial awards to the following US cities for hosting the most worthwhile parades in honor of Old St. Pat’s.

From the largest parades to the oldest traditions, these cities know how to have a rolickin’ good time. Whether you're Irish by blood or via beer, these gradiose celebrations will have you saying, "Slainte" in no time!
