Clearwater Is Going Ducking Crazy in January
The World’s Largest Rubber Duck is coming to Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater Jan. 9-26. The 61-foot installation named “Mama Duck” will grace downtown Clearwater for three weeks with a variety of events to accompany her stay. “Timmy,” her 10-foot-tall baby duckling, can be seen now through the end of January at various Clearwater locations.
This activation is presented by the city of Clearwater and sponsored by the Downtown Development Board, Spa Manufacturers Inc., Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, CGS Energy, and the Hampton Inn and Suites Clearwater Beach.
