Mayor's River O'green

Tampa will dye about a half-mile stretch of the river near Curtis Hixon Park a bright shade of green on Saturday. A growing petition lists concerns that, while festive, the dye used is harmful to the environment.

The event will be held on Sunday due to a cold front that is forecast to arrive on Saturday.

Don’t be shocked when the Hillsborough River flows a bright shade of green during this year’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
