This Labor Day, don’t miss the chance to see the star of the Big Dam Party: the 62-foot giant duck! This quackingly fun, oversized waterfowl will be waddling around the festivities, adding a splash of whimsy to the celebration. Spot her as she hangs out at Gathering Place, bringing smiles and photo ops to all. And don't miss Timmy, the 10-foot buddy, floating around Tulsa a few days before the Big Dam Party, ready for some quacky photo ops. Join us for a splash-tastic celebration and make some unforgettable memories with these larger-than-life feathered friends! Whether you’re here for the raft race or just to soak in the festive atmosphere, this giant presence is sure to make your day extra memorable.
