Huge rubber duck migrating to Trinity Park in Fort Worth

A huge rubber duck will be in North Texas as part of a world tour that includes appearances in Hong Kong, Toronto, and Los Angeles, among other cities.

The 75-foot-long inflatable duck will be displayed from July 23 through July 25 on the banks of the Trinity River in Fort Worth, as part of a festival organized by the Kindness Duck Project, a local foundation.

The event, which will feature concessions and information kiosks from nonprofit groups, will be held at Trinity Park, in the Fort Worth Cultural District.

The fest, called the Big #KindnessDuck Party, is intended as a fundraiser in support of the foundation, whose mission is to “plant kindness, grow kindness, and share kindness,” according to the project’s founders.

The six-story rubber duck was first created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in 2014, and versions of it have appeared in several cities around the world. Each city creates its own version of the inflatable duck.
