Welcome to Jurassic Park – Welland style.

The City of Welland is welcoming Toronto Raptors fans to gathered at the front of Civic Square Thursday night for an outdoor screening of game one of the NBA Finals matchup between the Raptors and the Golden State Warriors.

The game will be aired on the city’s LED screen beginning Thursday, May 30 at 9 p.m.

The public is invited to watch the game and celebrate one of Canada’s most beloved professional sports teams as they battle in the NBA Finals.

Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. The game will broadcast rain or shine.

A number of Canadian cities have caught the #WetheNorth bug, with Mississauga, Brampton, Burlington and Kingston all setting up viewing areas for the game.

Welland city staff intend on making arrangements for future games in the series and will be releasing information on them once the details are finalized.

But if staying indoors is more your speed, Cineplex Odeon Niagara Square Cinemas will also be hosting viewing parties starting this Thursday.
