World’s Largest Rubber Duck is returning to Toronto for the annual Redpath Waterfront Festival presented by Billy Bishop Airport, June 19-21, 2020.

 

Standing 61 feet tall, 79 feet wide, 89 feet long and weighing in at 30,000 pounds, the rubber duck first visited Canada in 2017 and joined the ONTARIO 150 Tour to celebrate Canada’s 150 during the summer of 2017.

At the time, more than 750,000 people attended the three-day celebration and the festival generated an estimated $7.6 million in economic impact for the city of Toronto. Last time, the provincial government footed the costs associated with bringing the Duck. This year, it will be paid through the Redpath Waterfront Festival’s operating budget and not through grants or government funds.

The Redpath Waterfront Festival is produced by Water’s Edge Festivals & Events (WEFE).
