Big Rubber Duck Rocks Tall Ships Festival in Erie, PA

Mama Duck was the star of the show at the 2019 Tall Ships Erie festival. Billed as the World's Largest Rubber Duck, Mama weighed in at 15 tons, and was tethered to the dock at the foot of Holland Street in Erie, PA from August 22-25, 2019. Her offspring, Baby Quackers, nestled next to Mama for the duration. Children and their parents lined near the ducks to take selfies. 

Mama Duck and Quackers have made appearances on Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, Lake Superior and other Great Lakes ports in the United States and Canada.

Tall Ships Erie is a benefit for the Flagship Niagara League, the group that operates the historic reproduction of the U.S. Brig Niagara. Tall Ships Erie was last held in 2016.
