CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago River is going green.

It's being dyed ahead of St. Patrick's Day. It is also one of the city's most famous annual events.

The tradition started back in 1962.

The dyeing starts at 10 a.m. just west of the Columbus bridge.

You can watch it along the river from Upper Wacker Drive.
