ABC 7's going all-in on the green to showcase the 68th Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Chicago, airing Saturday, March 11 at 12:30 p.m.
ABC7's LIVE, two-hour broadcast will embrace the sights, sounds and fun of an Irish celebration in Chicago along with highlights of another famous Chicago tradition, dyeing the Chicago River green, a yearly event since 1962.
ABC7's parade coverage will feature perennial favorites including bagpipers, Irish step dancers, floats, marching bands and marching politicians that make this one of the most celebrated events in Chicago. And no St. Patrick's Day parade is complete without the smiling Irish eyes of the queen. This year's reigning monarch is Casey Doherty who, when not performing her royal duties, works in Chicago as a data privacy consultant. She is a graduate of Northwestern University and DePaul Law School.
