World's Largest Rubber Duck Visits Pittsburgh for NFL Draft Celebration
The World's Largest Rubber Duck, a 61-foot-tall inflatable known as 'Mama Duck,' accompanied by a 10-foot baby duck, is visiting Pittsburgh from April 17 to 22, 2026. Hosted by Wolfe LLC and PerfectGift.com, the installation will be located at Wolfe LLC’s corporate office in Greentree. To celebrate the upcoming NFL Draft, free public events titled 'Tailgate with the Duck Party' are scheduled for April 18 and 19, featuring food trucks, live radio broadcasts, and giveaways. This installation differs from the 40-foot duck that attracted millions to the Allegheny River in 2013. Jason Wolfe, CEO of Wolfe LLC, organized the event as a gesture of gratitude to Pittsburgh for supporting his business journey since 1994. The ducks will be visible from Interstate 376 and illuminated nightly. After private events on April 20-21, the public can view the display one last time on April 22 before deflation. The attraction will subsequently move to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, for local art and festival appearances. This initiative aims to bring community joy and welcome visitors during the draft weekend without any admission fees.
