A beloved tradition for over 30 years, the parade 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.
Led by the Harvard University Marching Band, the parade will begin in the Boston Common at the Parkman Bandstand and end in the Public Garden near the famous Make Way for Ducklings sculptures.
Bring your cameras – this is the most adorable event in all of Boston!
Prior to the parade will be Playtime on the Common, a vibrant array of family entertainment including crafts, face painters, a magician, circus games with Esh Circus Arts, and climbing and jumping with the Knucklebones crew.
All families are welcome to decorate their wagons or strollers, bring a picnic, and enjoy springtime in Boston’s most beloved parks!
The registration fee is $35 per family in advance (before May 11th) and $40 per family the day of the event.
Each child who registers will receive a special goody bag filled with Duckling Day themed items.
