Chicago usually celebrates St. Patrick with not one but two parades, and the Chicago River is usually dyed green. However, all of that is canceled again in 2021 because of the pandemic. 

But, that doesn't mean that people can't still have fun. 

You can take a booze cruise down Lake Michigan on the three-story yacht, the Anita Dee II. All passengers must be 21+, and they must follow COVID-19 protocols. Tickets range from $20 to $75, and you can book a spot from March 12 to March 20.

If you're interested in a more relaxed vibe that's still emphasizing alcohol, you can book a table for brunch at D.S. Tequila Co for $128.25 to $436.05 on March 13. The price includes an entree and bottomless mimosas and green beer for a two-hour time slot. All patrons must remain at their tables for the duration of their meals for safety purposes. 

While there were originally some pub crawl events as well, many were canceled because of the pandemic.
