About

Hey everyone! 🍀 I’ve collected info on 8 Green River Booze Cruises throughout the day, starting at 8:45 AM and running into the evening. Each cruise has multiple options, so please be patient when checking availability. Many tickets are already sold out, but if one time is unavailable, just move to the next—you’ll likely find an open option. You can also join the waitlist if your preferred cruise is full. All current options are collected on this site: ladygoodmood.com 🙌 I’m organizing a fun and lively boat party for St. Patrick’s Day 2026 on the river, and I’d love to invite like-minded people who enjoy music, dancing, partying, and just celebrating life! The idea is simple: we’ll get together on a boat, enjoy great vibes, dance, and have a blast as the river gets dyed green. A little about my experience: This is an annual River Dye event, and I’ve been participating for two years in a row. The first year, I was just in the crowd—it wasn’t as fun because all the real action was happening on the river. In 2025, I was on a boat, but we were standing and waiting most of the time while the river dyeing finished—it was better than being in the crowd, but still not ideal. In 2026, my goal is to find the best boats that are actually part of the river dyeing process, so we can enjoy the action the whole time. Important details: Tickets sell out very quickly—usually in early January. I’ll monitor ticket availability and send the link as soon as they go on sale. Everyone buys their own ticket. If you have better ideas for organizing something bigger this day - let me know - I'm open to ideas! If we gather a big enough group, we might even be able to rent a boat, so we don’t have to worry about anything—we can just enjoy the party together. If you already have a boat and want a lively, fun crew, reach out too! One main thing to check is whether we’ll be allowed on the water at that time, as access is limited. If you have info about that, please share! The bigger idea: I also want to connect joyful, like-minded people in Chicago who love life and radiate positive energy. The goal is to meet, connect, and form a fun, friendly group that enjoys life together—not just for this event, but as a community of happy, outgoing people. Even if we go on the regular ticketed boat, we’ll make it a big, lively, unforgettable group. Let’s connect, celebrate St. Patrick’s Day together, and have an amazing time! đŸ€đŸ’ƒđŸŽ¶
