As the weather heats up and schools ring the final bell, summer is officially here! The Canada Day long weekend is on deck, bringing with it an eight-game homestand and marking the perfect time to plan a ballpark outing.

The Toronto Blue Jays return home on Thursday, June 27 to lead off the final homestand before the All-Star Break, with match-ups vs. the New York Yankees (June 27 to 30) and Houston Astros (July 1 to 4).

Rogers Centre is the place to be on the long weekend, with six of eight games featuring a giveaway or theme day. Below is a look at the fun taking place at the ballpark from Thursday, June 27 to Thursday, July 4:
