Twin Cities Pride lands giant rubber duck

The "World's Largest Rubber Duck" will land in Loring Park for Twin Cities Pride.

The what? "Mama Duck," the 61-foot-tall, inflatable yellow ducky that's toured the world since its 2014 debut.

What they're saying: Pride organizers said they wanted to bring "something big, bright, and impossible not to smile at" to the annual festival.

• "Some seasons feel heavier than others," they wrote on Instagram. "This year, we're holding space for that—and making room for joy."

Plus: "Sometimes you just need to take a selfie with a 61-foot rubber duck."

📆 This year's Pride kicks off on June 26.
