Chicago may dye its river for the occasion, but Milwaukee has its own rich history of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, too. The city has hosted a parade since the early 1840sfive years before Wisconsin was even incorporated into the Union. This year’s 90-minute parade promises the usual sea of Irish dancers, drummers and bagpipers, most of them dressed in a color we could all stand to see a little bit more of these days: green.
