Dating back to 1962, it’s an additional tradition for the Chicago River to be dyed green ahead of St. Patrick’s Day, and this year’s event just took place this past Saturday (March 15). But this year’s celebration was unlike any other, as it featured an appearance from The Toxic Avenger!
Ahead of Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting’s release of director Macon Blair’s new The Toxic Avenger reboot in theaters – fully and completely UNRATED! – on August 29, the Toxie street team took to the Chicago River yesterday in the wake of it being dyed a toxic green, and we’ve got video footage from the lovable Troma icon’s viral appearance at the popular event.
Check out the footage below to watch Toxie mop up the green Chicago River!

The new movie stars Peter Dinklage as the Toxic Avenger.
“In this bold new chapter of the classic midnight movie franchise created by Lloyd Kaufman and Troma Entertainment, a shocking accident transforms downtrodden janitor Winston Gooze into a mutant vigilante. Armed with his signature mop, the unlikely hero battles freaks, gangsters and corrupt CEOs while trying to save his relationship with his son.”
Kevin Bacon, Elijah Wood, Jacob Tremblay, Julia Davis and Taylour Paige also star in this darkly comedic take on the beloved anti-hero created by Troma back in the 1980s.
