☘️ St. Patrick's Day Parades ☘️

This is what happens when you live in Chicago: a city where the weather loves to keep you on your toes! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Downtown Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday. Day one was a dream come true, with beautiful weather and Irish eyes shining brightly upon us. It was as if the leprechauns themselves had sprinkled a bit of magic over the city!

But hold onto your shamrocks ☘️ because day two brought quite the twist—snowflakes and raindrops decided to crash the party! Yet, in true Chicago fashion, this weather plot twist couldn't dampen our fun. We danced through the drizzle, embraced the snow, and celebrated with even more gusto. After all, what's a little weather mischief when you're in the Windy City? Here's to turning every forecast into an adventure!
