A super long time ago, Brutus warned Caesar, “BEware the Ides of March,” but at Chicago.com, we know this month has plenty to offer and little to fear. With spring finally arriving, there's no more hibernating at home.
With our help, you will BE sure to have a great time.
BE Green (St. Patrick’s Day)
 We may dye our hair this month, but we know dyeing the Chicago River emerald green is much more important. On March 15th, watch this unique event starting at 10:45 am. The celebration continues with the parade at noon. (It doesn't fall exactly on St. Patty’s, but now families don't have to pull their kiddies out of school). And if possible, you can be even more green by using public transportation to get there.

BE Sporty
 It’s the 100th anniversary of the last World Series Title (way back in 1908), so Cubs fans are very antsy. Even if you are not a fan, don’t miss the Cub's opening day on March 31. It's practically a national holiday in the city. Plus, they’re dedicating a new statue of Ernie Banks, the Hall of Famer, before the game.
