The Indianapolis Colts announced on May 7 the final group of mascots who will join Blue’s Birthday Bash, presented by Everwise Credit Union, taking place on May 15 at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
The event is notable as it brings together a variety of mascots from both the National Football League and National Hockey League. The Colts said that their own mascot, Blue—who is a five-time NFL Mascot of the Year and a Mascot Hall of Fame inductee—will be joined by NHL mascots NJ Devil (New Jersey Devils), Victor E. Green (Dallas Stars), Buoy (Seattle Kraken), Louie (St. Louis Blues) and ThunderBug (Tampa Bay Lightning). Fellow NFL mascots KCWolf (Kansas City Chiefs), Roary (Detroit Lions), Miles (Denver Broncos) and Blitz (Seattle Seahawks) are also scheduled to participate.
In addition to meeting these mascots, children and families attending the event will have access to interactive activities within the museum’s Sports Legends Experience area. Activities include a mascot parade, home run derby, dodgeball and other birthday-themed surprises.
According to the announcement, “Blue’s Birthday Bash is open to the public, but all attendees must download a ticket from Colts.com/BluesBirthday while supplies last. Tickets are $5 for adults and free for ages 17 and under.”
Blue enters his 21st season with the team this year. He was inducted into the national Mascot Hall of Fame in 2020 after earning five NFL Mascot of the Year awards. The Colts noted that when not appearing at games or events across Indiana, fans can follow Blue on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.
