Red Ball: Toronto- A Part of Luminato 2009

June 9, 2009, FCP Park, King Street

Having made headlines in cities from Barcelona to Chicago, a big red ball is about to bounce it’s way into the city – and into the hearts of Torontonians!
With vision, curiosity and wit, a project such as RedBall reveals places we never noticed before and re-defines familiar landmarks. Easing into entranceways, basking beneath bridges or wedged into alleyways, RedBall searches for new opportunities, transforming the city into a canvas of possibilities.
You’ll want to have your camera ready – each day of Luminato (June 5 – 14), a 15-foot, 250-pound, inflatable red ball will appear in a different downtown location, including at First Canadian Place on June 9 from 11am - 6pm.
Be on the lookout!
