Duckling Day

Duckling Day is Boston’s most adorable Mother’s Day event – come celebrate springtime in Boston’s iconic parks! This family event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Friends of the Public Garden. A beloved tradition for over 30 years, the event celebrates the children’s classic book Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. Every year, hundreds of children parade through Boston’s most picturesque parks, dressed like characters from the story. Prior to the parade will be Playtime on the Common, a vibrant array of family entertainment from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. All activities are included with event admission.
