World's Largest Rubber Duck Tour

Wednesday, July 05, 2017

The World's Largest Rubber Duck was a huge hit when it came to Toronto during the Redpath Waterfront Festival this past weekend! According to Lea Parrell, the festival's co-producer, well over half a million people attended the three-day event. 

Apparently it cost $21,000 USD to rent the giant inflatable. "The balance of the [$121,000] grant went to pay for fencing, extra security, extra washrooms, marketing, signage, a tugboat, a crane, a forklift, and other event expenses around the duck.

If you missed it in Toronto, the duck will be heading out on a cross-Ontario tour. It'll be in Owen Sound this weekend and will later visit Sault Ste. Marie, Midland, Amherstburg and Brockville. See the list below for more info!
