The “World’s Largest Rubber Duck”, also known as Mama Duck, is coming to Maryland when it arrives in Leonardtown, MD from August 4-6 followed by a trip to Crisfield, MD from August 11-13.
The duck is more than six stories high, 79 feet wide, 80 feet long and weighs over 30,000 pounds, according to CBS Pittsburgh. Not to be confused with the #KindessDuck of Kindness Duck Project, the “World’s Largest Rubber Duck” was created by Craig Samborski. In an interview with WTOP, he said “I didn’t know what I was getting into when I built this. There are so many people in the world that love rubber ducks. That’s my biggest thing why I love doing this is because it makes people so happy.”
When the duck arrives at Crisfield, it will be a part of the town’s Little BIG Townfest event that runs August 11th through the 13th in Somers Cove Marina in.
