This is the schedule for the blue fountains:
- Friday, April 14th –Mill Creek Fountain

In addition, the Seahorse Fountain and the Waldo Water Tower will be turned blue on the same days.
Organizers hope the blue fountains will help create excitement around the baseball season and help unite the community.
The City of Fountains Foundation is a nonprofit that raises money to help with repairs and maintenance on more than two dozen fountains across Kansas City.
