==="OK Blue Jays"===
{{main|OK Blue Jays}}
During the [[seventh-inning stretch]] of home games, before singing "[[Take Me Out to the Ball Game]]," Blue Jay fans sing and clap to the pop song "[[OK Blue Jays]]" by [[Keith Hampshire]] and The Bat Boys, which was released in 1983. The song was remixed in 2003, and since then, the new, shortened version has been played at home games.

==="Let's Go Blue Jays"===
At home games, the "Let's Go Blue Jays" chant is played four times followed by [[Charge (fanfare)|Charge]] being played thrice.

===Mascots===

From 1979 to 1999, BJ Birdy served as the Blue Jays' sole mascot, played by Kevin Shanahan. In 2000, he was replaced by a duo named Ace and Diamond. After the 2003 season, Diamond was removed by the team, leaving Ace as the team's sole mascot. Since the 2010s, Ace has been accompanied by his younger brother, Junior. This usually happens on the Jr. Jay Saturday promotions until the end of the [[2017 Toronto Blue Jays season|2017 season]]. The promotions were moved to select Sundays since the [[2018 Toronto Blue Jays season|2018 season]] since the Blue Jays can no longer hold early Saturday afternoon games to accommodate [[MLB on Fox|American national broadcasts on Fox]], though Fox did occasionally broadcast Blue Jays games at the Rogers Centre.

===Sunday Salute===
Since 2012, every Sunday home game, the Blue Jays pay tribute to a member of the [[Canadian Armed Forces]]. During the third inning, the team presents the honoured member with a personalized jersey.<ref name=canada>{{cite web |url=http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/downloads/y2013/2012_community_report.pdf |title=Beyond the Ballpark |access-date=May 6, 2018 |archive-date=August 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812181151/http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor/downloads/y2013/2012_community_report.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===National anthems===
Since 2005, "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" has been sung before "[[O Canada]]" at every home game. In some home games (including Canada Day home games and playoffs), "O Canada" is sung in English and French to reflect Canada's bilingual and multicultural heritage.  When "O Canada" was sung during the Home Opener, Canada Day, and playoff games, a giant Canadian flag was presented. Sportsnet only airs the national anthems during the home opener, Canada Day, and playoff games. On June 29, 2019, "O Canada" was sung in [[Cree language|Cree]] and English.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/kiya-bruno-sings-o-canada-cree-english-blue-jays-game/ |title=Kiya Bruno sings O Canada in Cree & English at Blue Jays game |date=June 29, 2019 |access-date=June 30, 2019 |work=sportsnet.ca}}</ref> On September 30, 2021, the [[National Day for Truth and Reconciliation]], "O Canada" was sung in English, French, and [[Anishinaabemowin]]. On the following National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30, 2022, "O Canada" was sung in French, English, and [[Blackfoot language|Blackfoot]]. For Blue Jays road games, "O Canada" is sung before the "Star-Spangled Banner" as all road games (since the Expos moved to Washington, DC) for the Blue Jays are in the United States.

===Canada Day===
The Blue Jays traditionally host an afternoon home game during [[Canada Day]]. During the game, the team wears red jerseys instead of blue jerseys. During the pre-game ceremony, a giant Canadian flag is carried by members of the Canadian Armed Forces while "O Canada" is sung in English and French by a member of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force Band]]. The game was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the game was held in [[Buffalo, New York]] due to Canada–U.S. travel restrictions.

===Jays Shop===

The Blue Jays operate a store called the Jays Shop that sells primarily Blue Jays merchandise. This store has two locations at Rogers Centre, though, until January 2023, there was an additional location in the [[Toronto Eaton Centre]] shopping mall.
