Two Ways to Watch the River Go Green
Saturday, March 14, 2026
St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago is a tradition—bagpipes, green beer, and that unmistakable moment when the river turns emerald. This year, LondonHouse Chicago is offering two distinct ways to experience the river dyeing on Saturday, March 14, whether you’re celebrating with friends or bringing the whole family along.
Same iconic view. Two very different vibes.
Family-Friendly River Dyeing Brunch
Grand Ballroom • Third Floor • 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
For the first time, LondonHouse Chicago is hosting a family-friendly St. Patrick’s Day brunch in the Grand Ballroom. This elevated indoor space features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Chicago River, giving you a front-row seat to the dyeing without the crowds, chaos, or chilly sidewalk standing.
This experience is designed for guests of all ages and makes celebrating St. Patrick’s Day feel easy (and actually enjoyable).
What to expect:
- Scenic river views as the Chicago River turns green
- A festive St. Patrick’s Day–inspired buffet brunch
- Themed treats and breakfast bites
- A four-hour premium bar for adults
- Bottomless green non-alcoholic beverages for kids and families
Two dedicated rooms with:
- Interactive children’s play area
- Face painting
- A live DJ featuring Chicago’s top family entertainers
This is the ideal option for families, multigenerational groups, or anyone who wants to experience the tradition in a relaxed, indoor setting. It will be warm, welcoming, and crowd-free.
