(The Hill) — The White House is going green dyeing the fountain on the North Lawn an emerald hue to mark St. Patrick’s Day. 

The swap to a bright green color in the water of the fountain at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. could be seen on Monday during the annual holiday aimed at celebrating Irish culture. 

Giving the fountain a greenified new look is one of the few traditions that President Donald Trump carried over in his first term in office from his predecessor, former President Barack Obama. 

Then-first lady Michelle Obama, inspired by a St. Patrick’s Day celebration in her home city of Chicago, first arranged for a fountain at the White House to be dyed green in 2009.

Dying the Chicago River green for St. Patrick’s Day has been a longstanding tradition in the Windy City.
