Chicago dyes its river bright green as it opens St. Patrick's Day celebrations.

Thousands lined the river and packed bridges Saturday and erupted in cheers.

Members of the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union Local 130 sprayed dye into the water from boats.

The dyeing immediately precedes the annual downtown St.Patrick's Day parade.

The day , which falls on Monday , celebrates Irish culture.
