“The world is her bathtub” and World’s Largest Rubber Duck lands again on Put-in-Bay for a free family fun event 10 am - 4 pm on July 10, 11 & 12, 2026. Put-in-Bay, a vacation island in Lake Erie, welcomes “Mama Duck," an inflatable rubber duckie that stands 61 feet high, 64 feet wide and 74 feet long. This sunshine-colored photogenic duck will also be accompanied by two of her new 10-feet-tall fledgling ducklings.
Mama Duck and her brood will nest on a public viewing area at the corner of Langram and Meechen Roads, across from the Put-in-Bay Airport. Along with the ducks, there will be: food, family fun, “dunk a duck” games for children under 9, Mama Duck memorabilia and apparel, a special edition “Don’t Give Up the Ship” America 250 duck souvenir, plus ample free parking and room for photo opportunities.
The “World’s Largest Rubber Duck” is a fundraiser for The Perry Group and monies raised will go toward its ongoing support of the National Park Service's Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial interpretive mission. This event also launches the countdown to the Declaration 250 Celebration from July 31 to August 2 at Put-in-Bay.
The Perry Group and Miller Ferries are the Mama Duck event sponsors. For more event and island information, see theperrygroup.org, millerferry.com, visitputinbay.com, thebigduck.us and lakeerieheritage.org.
