In case you’re wondering why your local landmark is illuminated with blue light at night on April 2, it’s probably because your city is participating in World Autism Awareness Day 2017.
During the internationally recognized day, citizens from around the world will be wearing blue garments and shining a blue light on iconic buildings on April 2 as a show of support for people suffering from autism.
The Mumbai Mirror reports that “seven continents, 142 countries and 18,602 buildings” will be taking part of the “Light It Up Blue” campaign by non-profit group Autism Speaks.
Famous landmarks, including the Rockefeller Center and Empire State building in New York, the London Eye, the Lady of Lebanon, the Ancient City of Petra in Jordan, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, and the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates, will be lit up in blue on Sunday.
