You can watch the parades in New York and Montreal. Visit the Leprechaun museum in Dublin. (Watch the videos.)

Or visit pubs worldwide, in Ireland, England, Singapore, Belize (on the British army base). 

At home you can make your own green beer. You can take a pale beer and add green food colouring. Or use powered green tea (matcha), or spinach. 

You can make bread with a green marble effect using colouring. Or make cupcakes with white icing and green dots. Use food colouring or look for green foods in shops.

Green items to Eat or drink

Artichoke

Avocado pear

Courgettes

cress

cucumber

Food colouring

Gooseberries

Green apples (eg Granny Smiths)

Greengages

Green ice cream (order in advance - in Hatch End England if you make a big order they will do ice cream and an ice cream cake in the colour and flavour of  your choice

Green Icing

Green Marzipan

Green pepper

Kiwi fruit

Ladies Fingers

Lettuce

Limes

Mint

Parsley

Pears

Pistachio nuts

Spinach

From the New York parade website you can buy packets of pins, from this year or previous years, scarves and ties, all at about 50 dollars, which does not sound cheap to me.

Montreal's parade will be smaller this year, with no floats, although there will be bands. The audience will be asked to space out, social distancing, a small crowd but not crowding.
