Niagara Falls will illuminate in blue this weekend to honor the Toronto Blue Jays as they advance to the World Series for the first time in 32 years. The famous waterfalls will be lit starting at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, coinciding with the first games of the series, which will take place in Toronto.
Details of the Illumination
The Niagara Falls Illumination Board has organized this lighting event in collaboration with Niagara Parks and Niagara Falls Tourism. This initiative not only celebrates the Blue Jays’ milestone but also continues a long-standing tradition of illuminating the falls for significant events.
Illumination Schedule
- Dates: Friday and Saturday
- Lighting Time: Starting at 8 p.m.
The Blue Jays’ connection to Niagara Falls deepened during their visit in January 2023. This was a part of their winter tour, showcasing their players, including superstars like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Chris Bassitt. During this visit, a special illumination of the falls celebrated the team.
History of Niagara Falls Illumination
The Niagara Falls Illumination Board, a collaboration between Canada and the United States, has been lighting the falls since 1925. The tradition began back in 1860 when the falls were first illuminated to honor the Prince of Wales. Since then, it has become common to light the falls for various special occasions.
With this weekend’s blue illumination, Niagara Falls will once again become a beautiful symbol of support for the Toronto Blue Jays as they strive for World Series glory.
