St. Patrick's Day

In Chicago, they dye the river green. In Savannah, Georgia, they hold the second-largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the country (after New York). In Boston, the parade in South Boston was historically contested over whether LGBTQ groups could march. In every bar in America, people who are not remotely Irish claim to be Irish for 24 hours.

St. Patrick's Day in Savannah

Savannah, Georgia, holds the second-largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the country. The city dyes the fountains green. The parade has been running since 1824. The AHA! moment: Savannah's parade is older than Chicago's green river tradition by 52 years. Savannah was doing green before it was cool.
