In fact, for a long time it has been customary to wear green clothing on St. Patrick's Day, which is likely due to the symbol of the holiday - the green shamrock clover. Over time, this affected not only clothing, for example, in Chicago they paint the river green, the Sydney Opera House is illuminated green, etc.

Lighthouse lovers remember on this day lighthouses that glow green.
