Hi, friends! It’s Brenda, back in your inbox for all the Central Florida Happenings.

Remember last week when I told you I was doing something iconic for St. Patrick’s Day? ☘️

Well, here it is! I happened to be in Chicago this past weekend during one of the city’s most iconic events - the dyeing of the river, something I’ve always wanted to see! Always fun crossing something off the bucket list.

Anyway, enough about that. Here’s what’s happening ⤵️

Organizers said the festival brings an estimated 350,000 visitors with categories like digital art, jewelry, glass, painting, metal, photography, sculpture and more 🎨.

“We are going back to our roots by asking our food vendors to offer a specialty dish that reflects our food theme: A Season in Thyme!” event organizers said.
