Duckling Day
Join the Friends of the Public Garden in Boston’s most beautiful parks for Duckling Day! A beloved Mother’s Day tradition for over 30 years, the event celebrates the children’s classic book Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey.
Each family can join hundreds of children parading through Boston’s most picturesque parks, dressed like characters from the story. Led by the Harvard University Marching Band, the parade will begin in Boston Common and end in the Public Garden near the famous Make Way for Ducklings sculptures. It’s the most adorable event in all of Boston.
Before the Parade at noon, check out Playtime on the Common, a vibrant array of family entertainment from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All activities are included with event admission:
- Jenny the Juggler
- Peter O’Malley, magician
- Jump, climb, and play with Knucklebones
- Meet the giant Duck
- Visit with the Harvard University Band
- Make Way for Ducklings reading station
- A goodie bag for every kid – full of Duckling Day-themed items
