Buffalo, get ready… Mama Duck is coming back and she is enormous.
The World’s Largest Rubber Duck is returning to the Buffalo Waterfront this July, and if you were here for her last visit in 2016, you already know what a moment this is. If you weren’t, this is your lucky day.
Standing six stories tall (that’s like stacking four giraffes on top of each other), Mama Duck is hard to miss. And this time she’s bringing company. Her 10-foot “Baby Duck” named Timmy will be joining her at Canalside, which means the cuteness will be doubled.
The duck family will be in Buffalo from July 3-5 as part of Buffalo’s Fourth of July weekend celebration marking 250 years of American independence. This year Mama Duck is skipping her bath and staying on land instead, which means you can get up close and personal with her in a way you couldn’t before. Your out-of-town Facebook friends will be incredibly jealous they didn’t spend Fourth of July weekend in Buffalo with you and Mama Duck.
Best of all, it’s free. Beyond the ducks, the weekend is packed with things to do in Buffalo. July 3 kicks off with a free concert by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Terminal B starting at 7 p.m., plus fireworks over the waterfront. There will also be a rubber duck giveaway, duck-themed sidewalk art, merchandise, and vendor booths including a stop from BuffaLove Apparel.
It’s one of the best free things to do in Buffalo this July so mark your calendars and don’t miss seeing this big yellow ball of joy.
