Have you ever seen a green river?

Have you ever seen the San Antonio river dyed green for St. Patricks Day?  If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, head down the the Riverwalk for the St. Patricks Day festivities.

St. Patricks Day River Parade and Festival is a family-friendly festival of music, food and fun! Floats release 110 pounds of environmentally friendly green dye into the San Antonio River. The event transforms the 2.5 mile river into a miniature Emerald Isle where a proclamation is read, temporarily re-naming the river "The River Shannon."

Enjoy live music on Arneson Stage, and a family-friendly festival of food, games, activities and more in La Villita from 1-6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday! Beginning at 3 p.m on Sunday, enjoy a parade of barges, commemorating St. Patrick.  La Villita is located at 418 Villita St., between Presa and Alamo.  This event is free to the public.  Dyeing O' the River- 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday
