Join in this beloved Mother’s Day tradition! The Duckling Day Parade celebrates Make Way for Ducklings, the classic children’s book by Robert McCloskey. Every year, over a thousand children dress as their favorite characters from the story and gather on Boston Common to enjoy face painting, a puppet show, and other entertainment before marching through the Common behind the famous Harvard Band to the Public Garden.
New for 2014: the new mayor of Boston, Martin J. Walsh will continue the tradition of welcoming the ducklings in attendance. Plus – the Knucklebones team will bring their wonderful play equipment to encourage duckling frolicking…while Joint Ventures Physical Therapy will be offering free mini-massages for moms to take a moment to relax. Event will be held rain or shine, and there are no refunds. Register online ($35 per family, $40 on event day) at https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=ftpg&id=8.  Online registration ends May 10 at 8:00 pm.
